Utility: What's Next

So, what's in store for "Percy" next?

She's getting a new battery tray. This is part of moving the battery from the front of the boat to underneath the rear thwart.

The reason for THAT is for easier / faster access to the battery in general, as well as to make it more convenient to hook up my electric trolling motor.

The battery tray will be enclosed on 3 sides to allow the battery box to slide in & out. The 4th side will be removable and will be locked into place to hold the battery box in position. 

I have the basic parts of the tray made. I just need to epoxy it all together & glue it into place.



I have more planned improvements for the boat beyond that — namely cosmetic improvements and the addition of a floor.
