Both helms are now installed, as well as all the steering hoses between helms and to the back of the boat. The area to mount the binnacle controls was a little mangled from years of rerigging so I decided to put a piece of starboard down to mount the binnacle to and clean the area up. The control panel for the out board is now mounted to the inside piece that closes up the binnacle area and will be hidden away once everything is hooked up.

Very nice, especially the rear steering stationwhen should I start on your radar arch/rod holders lol
The rear station turned out awesome! Thanks again for hooking me up!
As for the rod holders I have another member on the site is building me some stainless rod holders!
I should be picking them up this weekend!

Looks great man. Good call on the hydraulic Bennett’s, those bolt electrics have never grown on me.

A road trip to Kelowna was in order this weekend to pick up some rod holders and hand rails that @Clint r whipped up for me! Can’t wait to get these bolted down there going to look awesome! Also managed to finish up the install on the trim tabs.
Thanks a bunch Clint! I threw the rod holders on the roof and it looks like they will fit perfect.

This might sound goofy to some, and this is definitely the "budget" option, but when I was outfitting new rails on my old boat (that I was sick of throwing money at) the shower section at various online retailers produced very good value for 3'-4' rails. I actually ended up going with shower rails and you'd never know it.

Got the rod holders mounted today! They really put the finishing touch on the boat. Got the wrong size bolts for the hand rails so they will have to wait. I still have to mount the around light and rear deck flood lights on the rod holder then pull some wire through for them. Clint was nice enough to pre drill the holes under each mounting pad.
Not sure if I mentioned it before but I had some tinted plexi glass cut to size for the round port holes. You can see them installed in the lower pic.
Still need to pick a name. It was named “Moody blue” when I bought it but I am open to suggestion on a new name!
@Rayvon i would get in touch with Clint. His prices are very reasonable and I believe he is coming to the island in the spring.

So sick. But if you rename it don't you need to kill a goat or something?
