I had to split this one in half, next up will be all the support framing, hinge installation & more.

Wow. You’re doing such an amazing job on this boat. Can’t wait to start working on mine. Gonna apply a lot of your videos! Keep it up!

[@mvboutdoors]

Thanks man! It's really coming out how I pictured. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work. One step at a time, I hope the videos help!

If I had a 1648 I’m Turing it into a center console lol

[@mvboutdoors]

A center console would work great for a 1648

How much more did you have to cut from the sides of the hatch to accommodate for the carpet?

[@mvboutdoors]

About 1/8", it wasn't much but depends on thickness of carpet

[@yesssir1032]

What kind of paint did you use on the exterior of your boat?

[@bigfudge1594]

What is the weight rating for the boat?

[@mvboutdoors]

940lbs with ~200lbs negated from the float pods

[@josephcrust7013]

How was the Bimini top?

[@mvboutdoors]

Unfortunately I goofed and ordered a size too small, the material looked great for the price. If it fit I would have installed it.

[@josephcrust7013]

@@mvboutdoors that's too bad, I'm hoping it fits my marlon sp14, I saw you post about it and bought it, that's the cheapest I've seen them!

[@mvboutdoors]

@@josephcrust7013 as long as your beam is 60" or less it should fit, mine ended up being 68"
