Didn't bring the camera yesterday so i had to run out there today to get the shots! We started by putting in the two motor box breathers, those are the boxes on either side of where the motor goes. They also reinforced the sides which wobbled a bit.
And then i took a hole saw and cut two holes and connected them with a jigsaw to make the outside part where it will get air and blow out (One side in one side out)
We built the floor and the top of the livewell, didn't get a chance to fiberglass the top of the livewell on because we ran out of resin, but the floor is done, we also made the inside corners more round with a thin laminate to keep the amount of corners down so the fish live longer. We are going to paint the inside black as well, i think that helps the bait live longer. We decided to piece together some pieces of foam instead of cutting a whole sheet, and the underside of the top is already glassed.
And then we built the air intake for the motor itself. The other intakes are for the fresh air inside the box, but this is the box the motor will actually get the running air from. We are going to put holes in the front, side and bottom so that it can't get a bag stuck to it or anything like that.
Tomorrow, we are going to keep going and finish up the live well and then we are going to using the micro-spheres and resin and try to fair out the boat a bit this week.
