dont put the console on the deck, keep it in the back, you shouldn't have a problem seeing while driving with a flush deck

I use to fish from a raised deck. After I did my first flush deck, I personally wouldn't go to anything else. But there is advantages in both. The flush gives me more of what I like. Easier to get on. Makes the boat not as tipsy and just seems safer when kids are involved.

I will be going with flush deck. You are right much nicer with kids!

Thanks for the advice. Looks like we are keeping it as far back as we can.

Got some more done last weekend. 7lbs of wire for the welder so far. We decided on floor gutters to help make it clean easier.

So we are going with dual gator tails like the last boat. With dual steering counsels. I love working with the guys at gator tail and like there product. But they are saying about $7,000 for the dual steering, throttle, and start. Does that sound right? I have never priced this out before and don't know what is normal.

sounds way over priced imo, how did you shape those T-Bars to the shape of the rake?

 

[hoyboy]

is that price for 1 motor?

No that's just the controls for 2 motors going to 2 counsels.

John's custom bowfishing boats rolled them for me.

Most people on here build their own stuff. I know that a lot of people can't, but it's just one of the cool things to do. Gives you a lot more since of accomplishment after it's all said and done. Also saves a lot of $$$$$$$$$

Only had to work a few hrs of overtime last week. Gave us some extra time during the week to work on the boat.

Lol well we are using it for a similar job. This boat will spend very few hours going full speed in open water. Running shallow is my biggest concern. Plus a few of are lakes have a lot of stumps. Needs to take a hard hit from time to time.

As she sits now. Hope to leak test and gator glide tommorow. Hopfully the welds keep the water out. I'm new to welding aluminum. Only have used 3lbs of wire before this project.
