That looks awesome! I am a member on tinboats.net and did a 14' Lonestar project that I am rather proud of. Yours is much nicer though I have to admit. Don't sell yours short! I had seen yours over there after I did mine. (I didn't find TinBoats.net until after I had done mine.) One thing I wish I had done that you did was move weight up front. Mine does great with 2 people, but it is stern-heavy when I am by myself. After seeing yours I have considered adding led lights, yours look handy!
What part of "uphold the constitution" don't they understand?

great job man, i wish i found out about this site a yearnhalf ago when i completely tore my boat apart. its a 1650 alumacraft flat bottom, turned it into a duck hunting/fishing machine, stripped it of all wiring, paint, lights, everything is new but the windshield and steering wheel. i should get pictures up one day. hell, it was so fun, i may do it again, this time i'll take pictures. good job guys!

Yeah it does help with the weight up there especially if I'm by myself. I love the led lights they are pretty darn bright and don't draw much power, I've only run a battery out once and it was because I forgot to fill up the gas tank and had to use the trolling motor all the way back to the ramp from the other side of the lake.
