[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 336592, member: 10154"] Thanks man! Many years of construction, metal fabrication and sore hands paid off I guess. I ordered my GatorGlideG4 and should begin coating the bottom and sides as soon as it comes in. I got my solid aluminum rivets, bucking bar and air hammer a couple of days ago so I can rivet the old rivet holes where the seats were mounted. Once I get them riveted I am taking her to the lake for the float test to see where I want to put my console, gas tank and batteries. Once I lay that out I can place my hatches where I can access everything under the deck easily. Some time soon will be the Tuffcoat nonskid coating on the deck and top of float pods. I got a great deal on a MinnKota 55 SP CoPilot remote trolling motor the other day. It is all coming together finally! So far I have: A boat and motor, of course Trolling motor with quick release deck plate and RAM mount that holds the shaft near the head and keeps it from bouncing on rough rides when it is stowed away. Aluminum poling platform 90 quart K2 Cryo ice chest with custom starboard top I made so it will mount on the front of the boat and double as a casting platform 21 foot Stiffy Guide Series push pole with Stiffy bungee deck brackets 94 quart igloo fish box with cushioned top and aluminum rack for captains leaning post Fiberglass mini console with grab bar and lexan tinted windshield I made with 2 double aluminum rod holders for each side MinnKota 4 bank onboard charger MinnKota LED battery indicator 3 Optima D31M Blue Top batteries with trays and hold down straps (1 for motor, 1 for accessories, 1 reserve) One large gel cell for trolling motor 25 gallon below deck gas tank Stainless 5 spoke steering wheel (Getting a Teleflex NFB steering kit after I figure out console location so my cables are the correct length) Tempress hatches 2 24" and 1 48" Flounderpro underwater light bars (I am making a removeable rack and more above water LEDs for gigging trips) Perko switches etc (Pictures will be added soon) [/QUOTE]
