I know a guide out of Captiva that had the black stripe on his grey 24ft Morgan, it had the American Legion Logo in it. After all the questions he got at the dock about what kind of law enforcement he was with he took it off.
The console holes you see in the back are 2 storage hatches, flush mount GPS and custom switch panel I had made. The front has two big holes too, one to get to the batteries and one is a inspection/access to the wiring, switches etc. After having a flatsboat for so long and trying to crawl into small spaces to do anything, never again!
Seabob your work is the best looking I have ever seen. I have a buddy that owns the Monroe Canal Marina in St James that is trading me the labor to wire/rig for a trailer I got for the boat that is just not quite wide enough. He used to do all the east coast of Florida Henckley service and is thrilled about wiring it. This way I get to do it with him and know how everything is set up so its easy to fix down the road.
Starting to feel really proud of what I have, I will be all smiles when she goes in the water for the first time.

You definetily will be all smiles on the maiden voyage.  The boat looks great and I love the console, access is key when you have to trouble shoot something.  Look forward to more photos and hearing about the maiden voyage.   :salut:

 Damn, do we do good work around the frat house or what? :lol:

And I'm with Lew...the curved transom cap is beautiful.

Can't wait for the maiden voyage. You've done a terrific job!

If you're taking them with a phone you may have a problem making them bigger - we support up to 800x600.

Took a few pictures of the progress this morning before dropping her off at York Rd Marina for them to wire the motor. Hoping to have her back by the weekend to wrap up the last few things, hatch  latches and hinges, plumb my hatch drain channels and some paint touch up.
Hoping to be in the water the first part of next week, first scheduled charter is on weds so I need a day or so for the shakedown
