Well I finally got my boat back after 3 long months and it was time to get to work. I got my jackplate that I got from
Olly mounted with the motor on it.

Then it was time to start on the lights. First was the shark eyes

Then I had to mount my LED interior lights which my buddy called stripper lights

Now the next project is mounting the winch on the front and then onto building the blind. More pics to come

You're mounting a winch on the bow? Maybe you should go to a pump lower unit or surface drive. I mean if you put a prop job somewhere where you need a winch to get out, your lower unit is probably not going to fare well.
Are you planning on building seat boxes and a floor?

@QH, maybe the winch is for getting him through/out of the place a standard prop wont go.

Also some of the guys south of me use a winch to pull the boat up and over a dike to get to the next area.

Yes I am mounting a winch on the bow. In a couple of areas that I hunt the water is shallow and I have to push he boat in because you have to hunt out of the boat to e legal and I figure if I can winch in there it would save me from wearing myself out so much trudging through that muck. I got it mounted tonight. The next project will be the blind

Smart move Brock, I've thought about doing the same but I keep a come-a-long in the boat and have used it more than once.

Thanks man. O and I haven't decided on the floor or not yet the first priority is the blind. I've already got a bench on te back to sit on while I drive
