Its hard to tell from the pics but do you have the tray notched for the wires and cables from the foot control. I see that its a Motor Guide and you did a HELLUVE nice job. Nice enough maybe you wanna make another one for ole 1FASTLASER???? I dont have the spool gun or frequency box to weld aluminum yet.

That looks great, I'm not very mechanically inclined... Starting the snowblower is about the top end of my skills! Nice Job!

Good job! I have a recessed tray on my Nitro and it makes a HUGE difference in comfort.

You have a Nitro Reb? What model; these are my dream boats! Especially the new Z-9 CDC(Center Console).
