3 walls are up still a little strip on the back wall to cover, roof is getting rubber roofing you see on commercial buildings, Inside is gettting painted dark grey, since its gonna be dark in there dont matter what color the inside is.

Still alot of work to do yet but, I think I have time, made the bunk too, should work out great, the ice holes are positioned so I can use real weeds if I want to and they will be out of the way, one side will house my underwater camera w/real weeds so I can see the nords 360 around my hole... This year is gonna be sweet...

Gotta Portable buddy heater with 20lb tank that will heat this puppy. Anyone have any suggestions on ventilation?- Like a vent or just open the door...

Also Anyone have ideas on an easy way to clean out the spear hole on the return trip after a long week or couple days... Just use a ice saw or screening... or...

What type of design for a insulated hole cover, just like insulation on the underside of the cover?

Ya that is what I was thinking.

Make sure the insulation don't touch the water so it would freeze in but you should have about 6 inches to the water right?

I would paint the inside flat black and that is what I do on mine really makes a differnce for veiwing just go to menards and pick up the cheapest flat black you can get and start up the heater get good and warm then shut off heater paint turn on heater and in no time it will be ready for use.

You definitely want to put a front lip on all the shelves, things always have a way of gravitating to the hole.

Just for you 2 guys Ill put the darned lip in lol, Ill be posting pics throughout the day, woulda posted some yesterday but my phone/camera died.

Got the heater hung... Warms it up in here quite a bit, Will be getting a 20lb tank shortly which will sit outside.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
