Damien....Thanks for the info...I'm workin on resizing the pics of my boat but here is one to show you what it looks like...When I got this thing it was all jacked up...I have wasted soooooo much $$$ and time on this thing not to mention all of the heliarc welding to keep the deck as light as possible.....The guy that owned it before me actually ripped out the front seat completely so I had to fab brackets and landings from aluminum to support the deck......Warren

Looks really good. One comment though. I don't know exactly what type of gas storage or venting lines you have set up there but it looks like that type of gas container was designed for open air use. You need to make sure gas vapors can't accumalate in that compartment, especially since the batteries are stored there. Not trying to diss your project as the work is awesome but I spent alot of time doing offshore fishing and boating etc and I KNOW that safety has to be a primary design consideration.

I was going to post the same thing. In the small boat bass club I used to fish in we everyone had coustom rigs like this. A bunch of guys got ticketed for having thier gas tanks and bateries in an inclosed locataion w/o proper ventalation. Just a heads up.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

i lwft about a 1 inch gap around the edges of the platform in the front to allow water to evaporate out and to get gas vapors out since the anchor rope also goes up there it needs to be able to dry out so i think im ok until i get a ticket lol

I fyou are ever up north stay off of Lake McClure as that is where the tickets were handed out. The sheriff on that lake LOVES writing tickets.
