Thanks, i certainly hope!
Besides a few paint touch ups, it came out pretty good. If i stencil a boat again, definitely getting the kind you stick on, painte, then peal off. Some overspray, a few runs, but as a whole i think it came out pretty good from my first attempt at painting a boat. I’m prepped and ready to start the gator base tomorrow or friday, then gator glide 3 days later, then the boat can go back on the trailer which i wil Be painting while the gator glide is curing. Then it is layout time.
I got 2 batteries, cranking and deep cell with plenty of cca’s i believe per charts i read and a blue sea add a battery and fuse block with negative bus, going to an 8 switch rocker panel. Never done this before either. Very confusing. Blue sea has some basic wiring diagrams that may be helpful.
I plan to have a light bar in front, 2 pod lights in the stern, and 2 pod lights in the middle, bilge pump, trolling motor, running lights in bow and stern, fish finder/GPS, and under gunwale lights for seeing things on the floor or when the blind is up. Probably add a radio and 2 speakers at some point. I have ample 12awg wire for most applications, i know i will have to get some big stuff for the batteries. Batteries will be in front near bow, motor and gas in front of transom.
Anyone have a place you can create or that provides some wiring diagrams for beginners? Gotta start mapping it all out. Appreciate any input.
