Finished up project #2 (of 3 planned) for the old gal this winter tonight. The first was the dreaded Lund transom replacement which, aside from being time consuming, wasn’t that hard. (2001 pro sport) Boat hasn’t seen water since July but when I pulled it out around new years it was still wet. Fortunately it came out in one piece, I went back with epoxy coated marine plywood. Still have some touch up painting to do once it warms up some more (not going to bee too picky as I still plan to wrap it in a year or two).
Second project was this sliding tackle tray/front deck extension. It was just a somewhat wasted floor space before, now it can hold 9 Plano boxes in a nice central location. Also now frees up the compartment they were in so I have a place to put extra life jackets, rain jackets, lunch and such things so that stuff isn’t scattered about on the deck. That metal piece at the front end serves as a vent (trolling batteries are under the removable deck piece towards the bow of this new compartment) and also two screws and it pops out so I can access the pins to remove that deck piece and get to the batteries.
Last project to go is I plan to make a mooring cover to use to help keep more rain and morning dew out of the boat. I have the ottertex fabric I will be using in but I need to haul the whole thing to my parents as they have the heavy duty canvas sewing machine (and my mother has the expertise in layout and sewing).
