Fitting out the " Fish Finger"
Submitted by feral1975 on Tue, 2008-09-09 17:13
Ok as a few of the guys here know and with help I have been extending the floors in my centre console to do away with the bench flotation seat's that were fitted from factory , this required new floor subframe at the front and rear aswell as manufacturing of an engine well at the back to cater for the odd wave which comes over the back while trolling , so here it is and bear in mind the whole lot was done by me in the back yard with a few cartons of piss and idea's from some mates
The front support's
Old floor removed
The new floor in place
The new carpeted engine well
