Thank you sir. I'll address your questions one at a time.

1. Is there any concern with the access hatch to be located in the center console? I assume you will have the batteries there as well? I want to do the same to eliminate deck water from constantly being in contact with the access cover seal.

I had thought about the access to the tank, and as long as I can get in there when I need to, its not so bad. I may have to move batteries to get in there, but I don't imagine having to get in there too often. Moving a few batteries isn't terrible. I sure like the idea of minimizing locations where water may be coming through the deck anywhere possible.


2. Is the front seat going to be a cooler or livewell or both? I see a drain plug in the bottom. Is that drained to a through hull at the transom or bilge?

The front seat will be life jacket and throwable storage I think. The hole you see is a conduit running to the bilge for a hose. I plan on running a washdown station from the passenger seat area, so when we are returning to port, the passengers can start cleaning things up. The central location of the hose means we can get away with half the hose you would need if the hose originated at the transom.

3. Is that the original console that has been modified with the floor flanges cut off? Thank You

You nailed it. I cut up the original console, extended it upward and cut the flange off and filled a pile of holes. There are some photos of it pretty early in the thread.

This week we got the linex sprayed, and the first shiny bits installed. The vision is becoming clearer by the day. Going to try to get the bracket and rub rail installed over the weekend. This series of photos is my favorite so far.

Very nice - is that Raptor liner or did you have a dealer spray the real deal?

Thank you sir. It is the real deal. One of my customers is the local Linex installer.

He’s in the Pacific Northwest.  A sunny afternoon is a treat, and he’ll probably appreciate the warmth.

The pictures are taken in a shop in the evening, the Linex appears darker in photos than it is in person, I think our feet will be alright. But as stated, in the pacific northwest, the days where we can go barefoot in the boat are few and far between anyway. There is a lot of days wearing rubber overalls and muck boots fishing up here.

Been at it for long hours into the evenings this week. The bracket is on, the rub rail is on, all the forward hatches, latches and the console seat are installed. I built a custom battery bracket for under the console, got the crab dams fit, and got the fill side of the fuel system buttoned up. Waiting on some hardware now, but we should be back to work on her in a week or so.

Thank you. Im going to put a crab pot boom off the port side of the bow, right at the first gunnel support. I beefed it up right there from the gunnel to the stringer. That corner is built stout and ready for work. Im going with a manual puller, just a pulley on a boom to keep it simple. My crabbing crew still have good backs.

This may be a photo overload, but there are so many things that are really starting to look slick. I've been plumbing, wiring and generally rigging for weeks. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't think I will be ready by Thanksgiving like I was hoping, but we aren't too far out now.
