Small flipping party with a small bottle of "Yukon Jack" because it's a small hull. Jallii, how tall are you anyway? Hoary Nights!

Some action shots of mocking up the interior...

Jallii! You've been pretty quiet! Im getting close. Minor set back with the engine harness... turns out that my 'new' engine was old enough to have the old 8-pin not the new 14 pin harness, so I had to order an adaptor. And also there is a difference between gen1 and gen2 merc cables. And no adaptor kit. But there is a uflex k35 adaptor that works the B185 console mount box for gen1's... we went through all of the mercury console mount boxes but none of them fit because I used the CLC peeler console measurements and its too narrow at the top, for anything but this uflex guy. I should have known something was up when I noticed that CLC actually sells the uflex box. Next time I make one of these consoles, I will widen it enough to get a mercury box to fit.
