OK my one glass guy got back from vacation and they got the T-Top backing plates laminated to the underside of the floor along with some other prep work. Looks like the floor will be set in soon. Except for the prospect of additional cash hemorrhaging from the wallet, i am getting a little excited about the progress. More pics to come.

True that DonV. When i took the boat apart, i took everything and put it in my race car trailer and buried the car. That way i cannot work on it until the boat is put back together.
Question/Looking for an opinion: Currently i have a Furuno FCV-292 color sounder with a 1kw transducer in the bottom of my boat. Thinking to upgrade to a 2kw. i primarily fish and dive from Port Canaveral/Sebastian Inlet area. Although all the fishery management boneheads have declared all the bottom dwelling species of fish extinct in our area, i was hoping maybe to start doing a little more bottom fishing if they ever open anything back up. Should i upgrade to the 2kw unit or leave it as is? Last edited by spiritdude; 03-27-2013 at 11:31 PM.

Shot...when I was upgrading my electronics I went "up" to the 1kw system versus a 600w system. I never even thought about anything more powerful. My Raymarine works fine with the B-164 Airmar transducer, I don't think I want to go any higher and melt the hull of my ol clunker.

Went to the glass shop today and the floor was glassed on top. Three layers of 1.5 oz. i brought the Airmar 2kw transducer up there and they said an extra 8 bills to remove the 1kw transducer without damaging it and reinstalling the 2kw flush mounted to the bottom. Another 2 bills for the testing the 2 kw unit from airmar. Not sure if i want to drop another marine unit for this. Anyone want to school me about breaking out the cash or going conservative? i'm thinking about renaming the boat from Made2Slay to Fishkill Cliff. Oh and by the way, i forgot to take pictures of the glass work. Hopefully i will have more pics to post tomorrow, but for now just before the glass.

Here are some pics of the floor after glass. Body work on the console is coming along as well. Also, set the new 2kw transducer next to the existing 1kw one. i'm not sure i'm going to install it. It may become the next winter project.

Talked to Murray today he said it's a waist of time and MONEY$$$$$$$$$, just give it back and I will sell it and put in one like yours in my rag, a small hole 1kw is all we need.

Today the floor and hatches got the first coat of gel with traction control. Console is starting to look good too. After further research, i think i will stick with the 1kw transducer for now.
