Monday morning I am trailering her down to the Evinrude dealer to have my new 90hp e-tec installed; for the warranty it must be dealer installed.
When I bring it back what I have left to do is the windshield, seating and a floor over the bilge. I have the windshield brackets from Lake Erie castings. They are cast aluminum - I had them triple chrome plated. Chrome plating shops are very scarce in California, this guy did an outstanding job if anyone is interested. I'll be asking for help on the forum when I install them. It's just been me building the boat but really I've had a lot of help from this forum and Glen-L.
I spent a lot of time on the flooring - I did pour-in-place foam under all the floor except for the bilge. It was worth the time . I was thinking how easy it was to drill thru 3/8 plywood while I was mounting the cleats and lights on the deck- and how the boat's hull is the very same 3/8 marine ply. And thinking how easy it would be to poke a big hole in the hull if you hit a rock.. Bob
