    Got both pieces of 14 ga sheet cut and fitted. Started riveting but have a lot more to put in. It's SOLID! Rubber Matt next!

    Ok another upgrade, just bought some 50 watters off my buddy after he decided not to use them! Will mount them under the 12 volt LED's and run them with a Genny when cruising banks. The mounts are not strong enough, I will be bending my own with 1/4" X 1" aluminum flat strap

    Ok finally light at end of tunnel! Wired all of the 12 V LED lights and big foot switch. Made all new brackets and mounted and wired all 50 watt generator lights. Just bought a compact lil champion Genny on sale at TSC for $179.00 got it mounted and put a heat deflector shield on to Keep exhaust pointed away from gas tank for the big motor. Only thing left on my list is put strip lights inside boat down the sides and paint both the mud motor (camo) and repaint and re sticker the Johnson 25 it's ready now to fish all summer long. Also ran new wire from back of boat from battery to troller with new Anderson connector plug12 on[​IMG]n[​IMG][​IMG]
