Hey Ron that large bilge cut out on the left was supposed to for the fill hose built in tank we decided not to put it in, the right side opening is for he drain and fill hoses for the live well, we will cover the left square opening with a piece of plate aluminum, that is where the 6 gallon portable gas tank will be, under the rear casting deck

Hey Bud,

I noticed that you are using carpet on the hull, and vinyl on the deck boards. Is that to keep the noise down?

 

[budski]

Hi Ron that isn't to keep the noise down but I suppose it might a bit, that's just the way we like to do it.

 

[budski]

We got the tops of the gunnels carpeted, and the rear deck cut out just in place for now, we still have to cut out for the splash well and storage and live well lids.

Looking sharp as usual

 

[budski]

Thanks oldrem

We got the live well and storage openings cut out, going to use aluminum diamond plate for doors.

 

[Watermann]

Adding aft raised decking sure makes a huge difference in options and storage. :thumb:

 

[budski]

Sure does Rob, we got the tops and front of the rear deck carpeted.

 

[chevymaher]

That is looking really nice.

 

[budski]

Thanks chevy

Got the bow and consoles done dry fitted.

 

[Watermann]

Nice work, you guys are moving right along.

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, we got the rear casting deck secured and all the doors attached

 

[kcassells]

If I were freshwater fisherman I'd be all over it. Looks nice Bud!

 

[budski]

Thanks kc, we got the bow casting deck and the consoles secured the windshield dry fitted and the dashes fabricated.

 

[budski]

Forgot to mention we moved the consoles and windshield 5 inches forward giving us a bit more room in the main section..

 

[Watermann]

The more forward consoles is the way the V5 SS models are, not much room in the bow area but gives you more room for raised decks aft.

Sure looks roomy! :thumb:

 

[budski]

For sure Rob, but still quite a bit of room in the bow. the super sport is roomy enough in the bow anyway.
