Nice job! I think they closed the ramps so your fishing machine wouldn't take all the fish. :D I like the anchor/rode stowage.

I was able to get out to the boat launch this weekend and two failed attempts. Launched the boat, started it up, and drove it away. She is now sitting in her dry rack spot ready for opening day on Wednesday, May1st. It should be 73 and sunny, looks like a good evening for a beer on the water.

Did notice that my speaker placement wasn't too bright, I may need to add two more facing the driver. Looking for a small but quality top mount speaker so I don't have to cut more holes in the console.

I also have been working on a 1972 Starcraft Supersport 16. I bought one as a gutted hull and I have built it as a center console. I have also removed the topside aluminum from the gunwales and replaced it with diamond plate all around. I put a brand new paint job on the boat using Petit topside ez-poxy grey paint on the bottom, and sunrise red on the sides. I still have some things to do, I'm looking for the rubber molding strip that goes around the top of the gunwales and a few other minor things. If anyone has any ideas on where I can get the rubber molding, I'd appreciate it.
