Location: Madtown, WI | Well got the back deck done. Did a couple different things this time after learning what I liked and didn't like about the last one.
Added some support straps for the hatch so I A) dont have to hold the stupid thing up with my head and B) don't stress the hinge by opening it too far.
Also you will see I have mounted two lowrance units in back. The little one is and X 85 that is for depth obviously. But the second one is a 522 that has the internal GPS. You might also ask why I mounted it in such a wierd spot! There is a method to the madness. In the last boat I had the GPS up front for navigating while I fish. Which is where it will be located 95% of the time. However, whenever I wanted to mark up a lake by driving around I had to have a kid up front push the buttons for me while I ws in back driving. NOW, I just added another power cord in back and RAM ball and mounted it in a location that I can easily reach while driving around marking up a lake. MUCH better set up now.
1. All that is left to do now is finish the wiring up front for electronics and trolling motor.
2. Get the motor mounted and gas tank and battery installed
3. Mount the puck in back
4. Give her a test drive!
I am going to hold out on removing the center seat. I am going to fish with it for a while to see if I really need to remove it. It will be nice to have in there when the whole family is onboard.
