Got the speakers in this morning
All the work and planning ahead in the early stages days off now it's going back together very easy

Here's a better shot of the kick panel with the speakers mounted

I connected a battery to the boat tonight and everything seems to be working

 

[cbnoodles]

Just chiming in for the first time. Very nice work! Your boat looks better than when it was new.

 

[mickyryan]

dont you love it when you put power and stuff comes on? its a good feeling

 

[Dennischaves]

Um Houston we have a problem!!!
I tried putting the center windsheild in and it seems to be about 1/32 to wide to fit in the opening
Any suggestions??
I was thinking of taking the window frame apart again and just hitting the mitered corner to the belt sander and reassemble the window ?

 

[mickyryan]

yeah id say take it off both sides should be fine

 

[Dennischaves]

Yeah I'm gonna give it a try hopefully I don't wreck the window frame
i tried like hell to premeasure everything
But obviously there's some small dustirtuon somewhere.... it's only 1/32" but it's affecting the middle window

I wrapped the bowrider seat in 2"foam and vinvy
not perfect
I probably should have taken it to an upholstry shop
I'm gonna live with it for now

The vynil is smooth and it's built by you, I dont see anything wrong with that, even if not all the corners are perfect.

You'll find small details of your work that arent perfect, but the nice thing is that only you will notice! everyone else will just be impressed.

 

[Dennischaves]

It's the little details that only I know exist that kinda bother me but overall it feels great getting to this point

 

[Dennischaves]

I also grinded a tad off the mitered corners of the center windsheild fits like a glove now
