Mines going on the upper corner of the port windshield speaking of which I gotta order one for the 16ss and the tow vehicle. I thought about slapping one on the admiral's vehicle but that is more apt to get a skillet to my head than dragging another Tinny home.

Here is where we stand today..... I'm ready for these 25deg days to go bye bye.... Saturday or Sunday look to be good days to splash her and give her the what for....



Wired in 2 batteries as part of the switch selector... Haven't actually got a battery in this box....


Got a water/fuel filter plumbed into the fuel feed.. This picture makes me happy about the transom I replaced last spring! Looks cherry still hehe.


This here makes me smile.... I'm ready to be going out. I got the wally world wise back/back lounge seats I'm going to put on the port side and I have a pedestal and seat to going in next.....


Some of the wiring under the dash....

Git'er wet, SMG. I think you get to do the the first Etec review on a Starcraft.

The finishing touches are great and the under splashwell pic is priceless.

HEHEHE!!!! looking pretty nice eh? quit staring at it... quit staring at it!!! LOL to bad you guys are the only mobs that care about that stuff...... Wish the inside and floors looks like some of the other guys on here.. but it's a river/fishing boat... I want more function... than form... i guess..

Looks great SMG ^^^

Make sure your helm pedestal & seat swivel/slide is helm rated.

I'm on my cell, so I can't give you a link to check out, but some makers do & some don't rate their seats. Positive locking for swivel & slide is one if the requirements to be helm rated.

I guess if the passengers seat falls apart/moves unexpectedly underway/WOT its not as bad as if the helm seat does.

Again, nice etec B-)
