You'll be happy you pre-drilled those holes. Having permanent wiring is very, very nice on the small boats.

Keep up the comments, guys! I need all the encouragement I can get if I'm gonna have it doen in time!:cheers:

...then stay off of iFish and get to that boat. You're wasting time pounding on the keyboard when you should be working on that boat. Go go go!

Dude!! I'm at work.

Pfft... excuses.

Actually, what the heck are you doing on iFish at work... er... uh... never mind.

Be extremely careful using the spray foam. In fact, I would probably avoid it all costs. Especially if you have the plywood on and glassed. The spray foam can exert an amazing amount of force on the inside of the boat. I have a boat whose bow was split open all because of spray foam installed by a previous owner.

The "right" way to do flotation (at lest this is what I've been told) is to glass in sheets of the pink stuff. I would guess any closed cell foam would work well.

That's a great idea, but I'll probably be going with a screw down floor. I'll have to roll it on it's side to drain water out, but I'm ok with that. At this point I'd rather have the boat ready to hunt with this year than to be working on it forever. The wife is getting jealous of the Atomic Nutria, as well. She knows she's about to be a duckhunting widow soon and is wanting as much time with me as she can get. :laugh:With the screw down method I can change it later on to something else. The foam won't be glued in so I can change that later too.

Are you going to have a bilge pump in there?

Is the wood under the decking going to be "treated" to prevent rot? Seems like water will be able to sit in there for very, very long time.
