The only picture I have of this is when I was still pulling wires and routing everything, but you get the gist of it. Since none of the joints where the console meets the floor is 90 degrees, more...

Now for the story of time and money. This is what I think is lacking on most build posts that I think will be an eye opener to people who are thinking of undertaking similar projects. No tool costs...

Decided I wanted to take the 6" out of the middle so none of my glasswork or fairing had to be close to an edge to make it as easy as possible. Took my time with a 48" straight edge laying out my...

Did a 143 mile round trip for an overnighter a few weeks ago up the ICW, burned 30.2 gallons. Took 10 hours total between slow zones and areas we could run faster. Very happy with that.

It’s in the water. Ended up doing the transom, cutting console in half and narrowing, and a ton of other stuff. Hung a new mercury 150 4 stroke on it, have 20 hours on it so far and like it a lot.

New console is 35.5” x 35.5”, but honestly I think I’m going to cut it down the middle and take 6” out of the width. It’s maybe 4” or so narrower than the original one and has no front seat area on...
