What a great thread. You have put tons of work into that...and it shows with every little detail. That right there is something to be proud of. I remember reading this back when it started out as a busted up shipment of wood. That's built better than anything you can buy off the shelf and something most folks wont even begin to appreciate. Thanks for taking the time to share all the work and pics. I enjoyed the thread a ton. Great craftsmanship there for sure.

I decided to just go all white. The splatter effect looks kewl but to me it’s just almost dated so I opted not to though I may change my mind later
Thank y’all so very much. This build has been a blast!

Thank y’all!
I have been thinking about changing the deck layout just a bit. Instead of the 5gal bucket, put the 48qt cooler there as a helm seat and dry storage for life jackets and dock ropes. Where the 48qt is in the picture, put a 72-90qt that would be a fish box and live bait well (most of the time it would hold drinks instead of bait). This change would add @ 25lbs midship and will make her much more comfortable and functional so the trade off IMO would be worth it. I’ll have to measure to see just how much space I have to play with to determine which one we choose.

I have a slick idea for the one in front of the console but it will require a larger cooler. Cushion tops have been ordered as well and should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday.

I like that idea Michael. Don't forget, cushions can be got for some coolers for sitting on too. Skipjack is look-n great!
