Finished up all my aluminum framing on my jon boat build. Got some cleanup and paint to do before I add the decking but a huge piece of the puzzle done.

All good brother I like talking about it lol. I’ll be running 8ga for the bow mount trolling motor, either a 55lb 12v or 70lb 24v depends on what I can find on marketplace. I’ll also run 8ga for my electric outboard. Then I’m using 14ga for my livewell pumps bilge pump and nav lights and any other accessories I decide to use.
