getting there
 

notched the cap so the motor would mount flush and mounted the motor. got trim tabs installed. the hole for the controls was too big so i made a plate out of some scrap 3/16 aluminum plate

might be the ugliest dash ever! but i got some more aluminum, ill do something with it. also got the helm in and hoses ran. dealing with some wiring issues and overthinking a couple things like where to mount ****. that slowed progress down a bit but i want it right so... not as easy as i hoped so far but not as bad as i expected. was hoping to get her wet this weekend but it aint gonna happen, previously mentioned wiring issues.sorry for the crappy pics but my phone likes to make little black dots. ill pos more crappy pics later
