Hows this for slick ?

Been doing some major renovations on my BHM since I hauled out in November.
Deck & scuppers were low making for a wet deck & had enough with that !
Raised the height 4-5 inches.
Lost over 800 lbs of wood & replaced with all composite masterials that are lighter, stronger & most important will never absorb water or moisture, only down side, a LOT more $ than wood :-(
Cut in a walk thru transom door.
Had my 2 fuel tanks enlarged from 70 gallons to 115 each.
Ripped livewell out from transom and built new insulated below deck livewell a lot more forward, shifting weight both lower center of gravity & more mid ship.
2 (180 QT) below deck insulated fish holds. (no more deck coolers or Bonar box necessary taking up deck space)
Gutted most of the cockpit gunwales & rebuild them. (Plenty of wet Balsa wet coring from the builder not decoring for rod holders & livewell in transom)
Coolest Idea I came up with is hide away transom controls to drive the boat from the stern, and hide when I don't want it exposed (charter customers playing with them)
