RacerxV6 Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Lol, I vote black speakers keeping it in sync with color of hull and rub rail not to mention the inside trim. Look really good though, I am sure you are happy to have her home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Finally, congrats on a super job well done. Have one question. Polling platform, what are the small tubes with the white caps for. Possible caps get removed for a step up to the platform or back rest. Again, great job. One other question. Casting platform. What is the black looking soda can connection to the deck/platform. Never seen something like that before. 😀👍⚓️🙏fin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, great job. those are the remnants of a sitting platform I made..I built it for a friend who is close to 80 and he would like to sit there and fish on the stern..he's no longer able to fish consistently so I cut it off. dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted April 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 spent the morning laying protective material on the decks for the re-wire... I got this stuff from my fiberglass guys - Aqua Cover is this thick blue and the other is a streach wrap with a strong adhesive made for this application. I ordered another few rolls on Amazon to have extra as I figure it might rain and come apart...but, here is a few pics....I laid it all over the deck and stern area to protect it as I'm pulling wires etc. and throwing things on the deck. Should make major progress next weekend as the wife is heading out to NC for a week in the mountains....I'll be home with the doggies and the skiff.....lots of fun in store....It's under the boat cover now....but, thought it was something to share as the project moves forward..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno . 🇺🇸🏴☠️ I like WM because you can always return it...no questions asked.... And, they are open on weekends and after 5pm...if you are in the business, PACER makes sense, but, for the little I would have saved....I like the ability to just return it. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
