I uploaded some pictures to my personal page.

My personal page is my project album.

What I would like in the end,

small center console, NFB steering, gps/ff combo unit

custom leaning post (aluminum with fold down foot stand, small foot print, rod holders built to back)

gas tank (2 six gal under leaning post)

fuel water sep mounted just forward of the splash well

batt in cc

side rails from one of the whalers i think the ones that would have came with mine, with 4 ss rod holders mounted to each (rails would be mounted center off the center console or slightly aft of center due to no bow rails i think the bow rail is hideous from this era, an useless,

4 ss cleats mounted on "gunnels" fore an aft

engine 50-90 hp EFI (no carbs unless the price is right) (f70la if money wasn't an issue)

bait well just aft of the anchor locker an in between the two steps about 10 gallons aerated of course (no thru hull penetrations or extra hoses hanging over the side)

attwodd portable bow light an stern light (no wires going bad, cheap enough to replace every 2 years or so, if they ever used)

a bimini top mounted to the rail not hull (not preferred gets in the way of fishing) no top is best, but I have children and a wife.

thats my boat wishlist and maybe 5 years from now it wil be complete

long time frame because money is an issue

I have 1.5 years left on active duty unless I re sign.
