Yes I believe this may where my soft spot came from. They are the only holes anywhere near the spot. I definitely plan on remedying this as soon as possible.

Picked up a soda blaster today and 100lbs of media to start. Now I'm just trying to get my hands on a compressor to handle it. Says minimum air requirement is 8.5 CFM @ 90psi and mine only puts out 5. I'm sure it would "work" but would probably not work nearly as efficient.

Worked 30 hrs Friday and Saturday so figured I'd better make some family time today. But I did get out there today and pulled the Merc rigging from the Green boat and got them mocked up in the cuddy.



Unfortunately where the controls were mounted was too narrow for my controls. I had to move them forward and I'm planning on just capping off the old hole with some star board. They still just barely fit but barely is good enough. Only con is I'll lose my cup holder at 1/2-full throttle.

A lot easier to mount the controls on starboard on top the existing hole and trim it out to look pretty good than move them forward in my opinion.

They really won't fit there. That ledge actually gets narrower though it's hard to tell in the pics.
