new flooring and its current condition having starter and alternator rebuilt, cant really put much of it back together until I get those back on the engine and all my engine wiring done because the access I have to the engine. I really don't want to jam my big self in tight spaces to reassemble

I'd Highly recommend you start using Photobucket. It's free and much better to use. That's gunna be on Heck of a Nice "Floating Personal Living Quarters" once you're done with her!!!!

Thanks Woodenglass, I am really looking forward to the maden voyage with her, but will be sad because the work and project will be done....I don't know what it is but I am a hobby junkie, I have purchased and rebuil a lot of different things over the last ten years and it seems like when I get done with them and use them a few times I lose interest

That's one big barge. You look like you're doing it right. Nice job.

Re: 1987 Harris 280 heritage

I have been pretty busy lately running wires, all main cables are ran from master/acr to batteries and fuse blocks
all grounds have been ran and installed on there distribution blocks
all accessory feeds have been pulled from console to engine compartment
all wires have been secured under the deck along with shifting cables and steer is yet to be installed.
pretty tedious job but I really enjoy this part of it! except for pullin my hair out wondering if I pulled enough wires to the console for all the options at the rear of the boat. back at it again tomorrow !

got the rod rack built, its not the finished product just the skelital system I will be covering it with the same fencing material I will be using on the outside of the boat. Mounted all the front fencing where it needs to be , now I have to layout the floor for the captains chairs around the bar
