The t-top is finished. Not a work of art, but it is solid as a rock and I have about $1500.00 less invested. Just added the aluminum treadplate piece the radio and dome light are mounted to. This picture also shows the stern light. Haven't wired them yet.
This picture shows a little closer detail of the dome light and radio. This radio has a jack in the back for headphones or an external speaker.
Notice the scuppers. There are two more scuppers on the front of the motor well to drain the deck (floor).
Here is a shot of the motor well. After a change of mind, the rod holders were mounted on the inside of the motor well. It gave much more room inside the boat. Notice the heavy duty deck plates.
The front of the motor well, which has been glassed in, has new drain holes installed. Scuppers are on the other side to stop water flow into the floor.
I am hard of hearing. I bought a VHF radio that has an external jack for a speaker. A trip to Radio Shack turned up an adapter to convert the output to stereo, thus a set of stereo headphones were purchased also. Viola! Now I can hear the radio! Another plus is that when the headphones are plugged in, the speaker on the radio is cut out so others don't have to listen to the squawking. The dome light works 200 % better than expected. It lights the entire boat up, very brightly in the console area and only pulls 1.5 amps.
