Here's a few pics I got of it today. I'm still not 100% done, but I wanted to run it before I put the floor in it in case I needed to move the battery or fuel tank forward. I was pleasantly surprised that it balances it very nicely even with me and my son both in the back idling along, and on plane it ran flat as could be. I was also surprised it could pull a 13 pitch prop I had, and feels like it could pull more. Being so wide really helps out with the balance, and letting this old school 35HP(flywheel rated) engine spin up. At least now I know it will work setup like this, so I can put a floor and carpet in it.

And don't criticize my paint work. I painted the engine in the dark with just a head light on(weatherman was calling for rain, and I didn't feel like waiting any longer to paint it), and I can't find an olive drab green that matches the green that tracker used.

The outboard don't look half bad in this pic, but if I take a close up it's rough.

Battery box, fuel tank, and you can see my stern light base in the background.

And a set of LED flood lights in case I can get out to go gigging.
