Let me know if you want it...

Kim !

It could have been for a charger...My charger was under my back seat but I could see someone installing a charger in the cabin.

I have a Center Console 34' SS and placed my Xantrex Charger/Inverter in the CC due to cooling issues as well as water issues. In order to do that I needed 2AWG cables from the back (where the charging relays and the batteries are located) to the Xantrex.

Like many others I bought this one as a wreck and did ALL the resto myself. It has been a ton of fun and I realize I will never get 100% done, and that is part of the fun. Next project is to get my outer engines lifted out of the water so I can gain a few MPH... Goal is 88MPH but I have lots to do before I'm there... Lots of fun too...:D

Kims- once again very nice. I like everything you have done to your boat.

Here are the updated pics of the bilge- (Thanks Eric!!:D) I think it came out way better than I expected- updates the boat into this century in my opinion.

And while it was in the paint booth- they fixed all the holes and stuff we missed the first time we painted it, there were quite a few since originally I thought I would run the arch-
