Didn't get much done on the Marquis today. My carpenter buddy had some
appointments to take care of, so that canceled the day, but it would
have been great cool weather to finish the floor. But that's alright.
I'm re evaluating how i want the interior to be. Just making some
space-saving modifications.

BTW Thanks John for the Garmin 4000 series discussion today. pretty
interesting stuff.

No sweat. Actually it was the 400 series. I love mine now that I've found the problem, and I'm sure
the problem was caused by the dealer who installed the unit. Works great now.

Tim, you might find this interesting also:

Scroll down towards the bottom of the page and you'll see the Ohio River section of PDF charts.

There you'll find links such as:

....which has one hell of a lot of info about the Ohio River.

My carpenter buddy, Jimmy and I got the new carped glued in today. man
it's gonna look good. had to quit because of the heat in the building.
besides we got most of the dirty work done and the carpet glue should
have a good stand over the weekend.

Instead of having the two forward seats on pillars like original, i
got thinking that mounting them on boxes would help use up a lot of
dead space underneath, and I remember seeing a restore/modification a
guy did to a cool looking SleekCraft on Iboats.com, and I got a good
idea of what I wanted. Jimmy said it wouldn't be a problem....

From something like this:

May as well use the open space for decent storage.

My old Winner 24 had the seats on boxes and there was a lot of storage
space inside of each. There was also a fold down foot rest on the
front of each box which was at a comfortable height. You might be
able to get some low rise swivel seats which would be a nice touch.

Wayne, we're thinking of taking the pillars off the original seats and
putting swivels on them then mounting to the top of a box. only thing
is, I'm sure someone makes a 'locking' swivel out there, but just
gotta look for it. I suppose.

Probably not, too much wasted space, he wanted storage underneath, and
he wanted a forward lock. He should look at something like this:

Yeah, that's the idea John, but that's gonna be too tall regardless of
how much of the assembly we don't use. I'm thinking on mounting the
sweats solid. No need for a swivel actually..

Anybody know where you can get something like this. Here in the USA?
And doesn't cost 3 arms and two legs?
