toss some silicone on the bolts/washers before you put em in so you keep that floor waterproof now that you've drilled holes in it.

Gotcha.

I dabbed some resin around each and seated all the carriage bolts with temporary nuts. Come time to do carpet I can take them loose, pinch the carpet between aluminum and put on the stainless lock nuts without any carriage bolts spinning on me.

This is the newest, I go through a drill and impact every year. I wanted the 20v max but I have too many 18v tools and the batteries aren't interchangeable. I prob have 15 batteries from NiCad to compact lithium and by far the XRP lithium is awesome.

Yeah it needs help. Good runnin motor though, maybe some cleaning and dressy-uppy gizmos, a lot of polishing and a double pumper in the close future.

I can't believe how much I am spending already, almost every trip to Depot or Lowe's is a hundred here, hundred there.. Not gonna add up receipts.

Believe me, I know what its like to be fed up with spending the money. Its all the little things that add up in the end that kills you. Heres my complete build last year, after a new motor in 2010

I don't know but it was the same thickness as what it came original with. I would have went thicker on the floor itself but I engineered my ski lockers to work with the thin.

It sure does feel nice on bare feet with no teak lockers. I stood on one of the old stainless hinges last summer, since then I have held a grudge to anything metal on my floor.

No more teak splinters, babe, I promise.

Oh the stories my old Horizon could tell. Back to Back bench seats are great from a variety of angles, and the river around Water Wheel is usually real quiet. I'm trying hard to get my buddy to bring the old boat out of retirement. I think y'all will see it at least once this summer.

When they see how much pink paint is on this boat, they will never harass you ever again. 90% Pepto Bismol pink with just a little Ford blue thrown in around the outside. It was supposed to be Rasberry.

Please, bring it out. Hahahaha

Think I only got one more hairbrain idea before I put side panels on and bury everything and that is to run some 2" schedule 40 or black ABS drain line in the sides of the boat above the tanks as a wire chase. I've tried running wirezz for various shit from engina compartment to my dash and its an all day affair to get 4 wires through there.
If a guy has a decent rat tunnel, I could run my fish tape through it and pull anything through.

2nd thought, that's a stupid idea. Not gonna re run all wiring that's existing.

But looking under the dash, she needs about a day's worth of tidying up and a bunch of zip ties.
