Fencing was pretty ugly, bought a couple sheets of FRP and glued it to the fencing. Has held-up so far from below freezing to 100*.
Made jigs to clamp it while adhesive cured,
Corners I just had to "wing it" lol. It can be painted, should I ever decide to, I wanted to wait to be sure it would hold, and after 2 years, I'm satisfied it will (has).
Console seat base painted, and door added. It's split in middle, seat raises for upper storage, lower door for bottom storage.

Made spot for tools and spray bottle for cleaning screen on FF
Have a H'Bird 859 HD/DI on bow, so couldn't use the US2 'ducer in trolling motor, so made a separate mount for it, off one of the rod holders (no more holes in deck than necessary).
Lining-up cap lets me know 'ducer is pointed in correct direction.

PVC Rod holders (for road travel), hold 12-14' rods
NOCO 2-Bank 10amp charger for start and accessory (electronics) batteries.
Stereo speakers installed
Still need to get 3 seat pads made, but not having much luck finding anyone local who likes making money. Probably end-up buying a machine and sewing my own, and probably for less than it would cost to pay someone to do it.
