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?

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.
