Started putting it all back together today.
temporary mounting of the box to get the height of prop shaft. Going up another inch. It will be 2 inches above the lowest point of the bottom. Tomorrow I drill holes.
got all the new gauges yesterday. so after mounting the box tomorrow I drill holes in the dash for the new gauges and then start rewiring the entire boat.

Still needs to go up 3/8 of an inch. good guess for the first try.

Had it all held up with two C clamps with wood blocks to protect the new paint on the inside.
That should move the CG back a little. That and the big M tall deck block.

Got a few parts back from the powder coater today.

Very nice! Who did you use for your powder coating?

Southwest sandblasting. East of 131, south of burton.

Working on the wiring today. WOW what a mess. When I got this boat half of the stuff didn't work. The boat didn't even have an exhaust blower installed.

Got the dash wired - I forgot how much of a pain it was to wire a boat dash. Now is the fun part adding wires for the future stuff. Also I am wiring it the way it should come from the builder. WHY is there a 10 gauge red ( HOT ) wire powering all of the stuff in the boat and only a 16 gauge wire as the negative. SO I added a 10 gauge wire direct from the battery to the negative block. AND a 16 gauge negative wire that will feed all of the lighting and a separate one for all of the bilge pumps ( 3 ) and the blower. And I will run a separate 12 gauge hot and negative for the hatch ram.
