I picked up a Stacer 435 Barra Elite in november last year & it's great boat in standard trim but needs some modifications to bring it up to the way i like my boats setup for fishing.
I took my boat off to Brumb's Marine for Tony to do the aluminium fabrication on the boat.
I asked for a new bulkhead to be welded in at the next rib back to take the deck extension, 160L livewell & the side pocket to have some supports put in so I turn it into rod laydown area. Also the whole thing welded & painted to look factory fitted. I got the boat back from Tony & was very happy with the job he had done & he also worked with me to get some of my livewell plumbing done under the floor.
I got it back on thursday last week & started on the Flow-rite Livewell plumbing & wiring up 800gph pumps for Fill & Recirc/Pump out. Also while I was at it I put some new LED Nav lights. I had the job of cutting the timber & carpeting it, this would be the thing that took the most time just due to having to seal the timber & waiting for it to dry before I could carpet each piece & all the rain we have been having didn't help me.
I knock the last Two pieces off today & pretty happy with the results & now I can go enjoy my handy work..
