New deck is done, boat is back together!
 

I launched her last weekend anf finally finished bolting stuff on and doing wiring this weekend. Still need to tidy up the wiring but everything is operational at this point and the boat runs great. I have a 225 Yamaha 1992 and with my new Lowrance LMF400 and EP-10 I no longer look at fuel flow, just economy. My best economy is about 2.15 average miles/gal at 29MPH at 4100 rpms. Already had it out for a couple of trips in between all the assembly including a few night time missions. I have the dash/lighting set up really well for night ops.

She really look great Jim. I really like that pop up cc door. One of these days I may switch to that set up... I'll be quizing you about it when I do :D How does the door latch in the down position?

I used extra long supports to mount the springs on the door, so when the door closes the springs actually go past the point in which they are all the way compressed and actually start extending again very slightly when the door is all the way closed. So there is essentially 100 lbs of pressure keeping the door closed (maybe?? I'm not an engineer, but it works). If I ever have a problem with the door opening on its own I'll fashion a latch of some sort, but so far it wants to stay closed.
