I think i bought two 8' lenghts of composite deck boards from home depot. Cost like 30 bucks. Buy some dowel rods to stack them. Check like page 3 of my build.

Engine dividers are a breeze, but good luck on that tower project. If i were you i would just try to find an fct tower tho. Just opinion

What material did you use for your dividers?

[orzech]

Id love a fct... not in the budget right now, most everything is more labor intensive. Ive been keeping my eye out for a fct for cheap though. Plus i still need to buy 3 new ballast bags and another jabsco.

Thanks for all the compliments. Couple quick pics of some additional cup holders. Next thing to tackle is going to be the solid engine dividers, then probably replacing the ****ty mounts on my tower. Wake designs decided to cheap out and use a ball n socket style mounts that are just plain junk. So the plan is to chop off the bottom posts and install some heim joints to hopefully tighten up the tower. Ill get some before n after pics to better explain it

Dude that looks amazing. I am really jealous. I really like the added cupholders and the recessed speakers by the way!

Wow couldn't agree more. It all looks amazing. Love the added rear cup holders and recessed speakers too.

Fricken awesome work. One day if I change boats again and I want to change my deck, this may have inspired me to do so. But I can hardly fathom the man hours into a project like that.

So I got her waxed up and most of the interior in... progress is being made. Rub rail is going on tomorrow, modding the bases for the cupholders too and a few other misc things. More updates to come with other changes.

Thanks guys, its been a project in the works and been planned out for a couple years now. Part of the reason why I stuck with the gray interior, finished off all the chrome with black powdercoating, and then the carbon trim stuff. Hoping to get it all wrapped up this week.

Great Winter project and probably perfect timing to have everything ready for the Spring.

[grkero]

Looks pretty sharp! Nice work.

Finally hit it with 1500 and then a quick round of buffing. There are a few spots I need to go over again but overall I am very pleased with the outcome. Cant wait to start putting everything back together to see everything come together.

[Brichter14]

Thats looking really good! Cant wait!

1000 grit sanded, snapped a pic while the boat was still wet. Going to go 1500 and then buff. New rub rail ordered, SS cupholders are in. Ordering a center T handle drain plug to put in the ski locker so I can actually drain all the water out while its in the hoist. Some thru-hulls and misc parts to finish up the bow ballast should be here soon. But anyways heres a quick teaser pic. Cant wait to get her all back together.
