Thanks for straighten my pics for me Buckeye. My cell phone seems to turn the pics.
My pleasure….
Looking great!
I forgot about the rifle in view. I have some predators picking off my chickens so I keep the rifle handy just in case I get a shot.
Very well done

just starting on the rear casting deck. Glued the carpet on today, tomorrow I will mark the rivit holes and glue the carpet on the back side of the deck.
It’s really coming along. Super job!

Rivit holes are all marked and started trimming the carpet so I can fold it under and glue it.
Great looking work

glueing the fold overs. It took 11 separate glueings to get it ready to go on the boat.

while it doesn’t look like I did much, I spent the day designing and building a wire race under the starboard stern of the rear casting deck. I was concerned that if I ever replaced the stern sonar I wouldn’t be able to without taking up the rear casting deck.
Looks great!
Coming along nicely
Your getting close now!

while the stowaway sonar mount is nice, it seems a bit tall to me. It may not stay.
Great work, congratulations
Excellent work!

I am putting in carpet for the same 170w boat and you're pictures are a big help! At the point now to do anything to the boat before I start putting it back together. Just wondering why you felt it necessary to add foam and what did you use (can foam?)Quote:

I used the same size that i removed. 3/16" or 5 mm with a 1' grip. There is going to be a lot of rivets so be sure you start with a good rivet gun
I never responded to the foam question so i will answer it now. I added the foam for several reasons. While I had the deck removed I replaced the power cables going to the trolling motor and I had to remove some foam to accomplish that. All boats come with inadequate power cables. Next, The added foam against the hull where there was none before both strengthens the hull and quietens it especially on an aluminum boat. The last reason was because there is now not enough space in the bilge to hold enough water weight to sink the boat in any condition. The foam can be bought on Amazon or Tiny Boat Nation. Be sure and use CLOSED CELL FOAM.
