Looks great Aaron!  But I just noticed there are no rod holders on your gunnels.  What gives?  Where are your priorities?  That's a fishing boat, isn't it?

And I see Carl made a cameo appearance...any updates on your project Carl?

I believe the time has come to rejoin the fold... Nothing really to update, I just recently found my motivation to work on it.

forgot to post pics of the charger from last week. installed prosport 12, 2-bank charger for the cranking and house batteries.





and a couple pics from last week, with both live wells full, i got the waterline almost perfect.





view from next dock over, looking good! :239_fishing:



after sitting in the water for a full week, zero growth. gonna install a GPS/FF this week, then she'll go back in the water for probably rest of the summer.

The tower is great. About half of the hours I've put on the boat so far has been from the tower.
