Haha yeah didn't see that post but it was probably him, headed that way. Getting the top fabricated with a fold-able doughnut on top for cobia spotting. Not running the second set of controls up there just yet, maybe something in the future.
Gonna look something along the lines of this minus the control box.
Got the plate today. Dad found a 3/8" scrap sheet for $1 per lb. Getting it cut tomorrow and closing up the deck this weekend. That top is gonna be rock solid bolted down to the plate.
