Here are some friday build pictures. I got the engine switched out and controls mounted. Batteries wired up. Added fuel filtering system. Cleaned out generator area. Just need to run wire from the lights to the generator box.

Sunday pictures. Got a lot of work done today. The deck is 3 pieces and the middle is going to be hinged to acces the trolling motor and the little gate in the middle. Right now will have a seat on each side and may add a leaning post closer to the end of the deck for extra guys.

But your screwed if you need the rest of that ladder. Lmao. Just noticed that

 

[skyhook]

Nah they were scrapped ladders from cooling towers at work.

 

[froghunter]

[skyhook]

******* engineering at it's best!

 

[froghunter]

[Southern Draw]

What a beast!

 

[skyhook]

Almost done, deck is complete. Taking my aluminum "t" bars to get welded for the 400 watt lights tomorrow and thats done, just need to finish wiring!

Wow, that bulb looks like a mercury vapor or a halide?

 

[Old Smoker]

How are ya'll gonna get around, kicker or troller? Where is the genny gonna sit? If you have some more deck material, you could put that genny just above that outboard with very little effort and it will give you a ton of space on your floor. Looks good so far!

Nice build. ..

 

[bowkill]

Yea that bulb doesnt look like the 400w HPS that ive seen

i didnt know they had ******** in MARYLAND!!!

country is country wide son!
people even live in trailers here,imagine that.

 

[skyhook]

I am a grubby crane operator, not a electrician. I was just yapping about what I was told they were. Whats a way of telling what they are?

 

[SKEETER]

hps has a white rod in the middle instead of the glass bulb

 

[skyhook]

There is a troller that goes right in the middle of the front gate, thats why I made a hatch design so it can lay down inside the boat.

The genny has it own hatch on the back of the boat, there is storage on both sides of the toon about 26"x26" enough room for my honda eu2000 and extenda run gas tank. If you look at the picture of the rear of the toon you can see the bump outs over the pontoons the genny goes in the one on the left. There is a rear deck lid that covers both storage side and the outboard. Its a perfect day time carp rolling shooting spot. Run the toon up in a patch of grass and start shooting spawners!
