    That is a vast improvement in the looks too. In my opinion. The kids used to call mine the refrigerator.

    I like it. At first I didn't know about that big motor cover, but since I cut it down it looks good. I did alot of measuring before cutting, but it was easy to do. I also modified the floor area where the drivers legs go. My boat had the floor that went all the way to the front bulkhead. When I put the new floor in I made the drivers side stop right in front of the seat box and I rounded it toward the center stringer. That way the drivers legs aren't cramped up in the dash and it looks good also. I will get pics and post them of the mods I've done. I also like the fuel consumption of the I/O compared to the O/B.
