The Gentrification of the fisherman has begun. I tell you guys I believe the Wind Talker had a life defining moment recently that may have involved green water, don't know for sure but Mohammed has come to the mountain ;D

I did all the same on the old boat (except pumps) Just took me 9 years to get it done!

I just want it to get done and enjoy fishing! And i want it all done the right way for a change!

If I am right this is going to be the last boat I own, so as long as the wife has no idea, I might as well spare no expence ;)

I decided to put the switches straight up and down, to keep water out of them

The Thur hull nipples, they come 3" in the kit, but I had to get 6" as the transom is 5" thick

That wood you see in the 2nd pic is were the hose came for the salt water wash down.
The hole was drilled on a angle and believe it or not it starts right in the middle of the nipple for the tabs.
The wood was hammered in with 5200 on it, recessed 1 inch, and then toped off with Marine Tex on the out side.

Here is the next project that I will have done this week, I have to get a 2nd battery and two battery boxes.
