Quite coincidental 8) my son graduated from UCF guess I should have used black and gold :biggrin2

Looking for some advice...this build started out as a budget build but has turned into a domino effect lol...I have it down this far I can't see not replacing the wiring so new harness from PS ? Then that leads to new gauges and switches...any recommendations ? And remember I'm on a budget... :donno

I know this might be dumb question but I'm going to ask any way :oops:

I would like to know if it's possible to add one charger line to my battery set up..currently a starter battery and a house battery..with the possibility of adding another battery for my trolling motor... so all I would have to do would just plug in to one plug and that would charge my battery set up :?:

Ok.. a little up date...built a storage box, got the idea from another build here on the forum 8) ...
Had leftover vinyl so used it to wrap it to look more custom...it will hold the batteries, fuel tanks and one more bay for miscellaneous storage.
Also did more wiring for ariator pumps up front...New wiring kit for the trolling motor...
Closed off the area at the motor...Will have two fishing seats at Stern end and up at the bow...
