Wow John! That came out amazing! I love that color blue as well. Looks great, but more than looks it totally eliminates a useless area and makes it a much better use of space. Great job and thumbs up to the craftsman responsible for the worthy conversion. Enjoy!
The main headache is having to basically rewire the whole boat since my batteries are coming up forward.

Logic would dictate yours probably is different but at least it is a quantity you can think about when sizing your battery cable run. The factor I dealt with is how much voltage drop I was willing to live with. The 3% for starting systems was what it seems is industry standard. I crawled all over the web for a definitive answer but that figure was the closest I could find. Good luck.

I already have them crimped and ready to install. Between work and 2 girls, most of my work is best done at night Not going to do much until it warms up here. Still getting down to high 20's at night
