            My trailer has LED lights on the fenders, facing forward. Any other safety light or trucker christmas tree lighting being considered?

              I installed the tail lights on the rear of the fenders after taking these pics. No, I don't plan to add any more lights.

                    Where are the footrests and big screen TV? LOL!
                    It's looking like a flounder yacht!

                      We're hoping the flounder like our boat best! BTW, the big screen TV will flip down from the T-top. LOL

                        Flounder yacht, I like it. That flip flop seat is the cat's pajamas.

                            The last of the electrical will be finished this week and then we will start assembling the outboard motor this weekend. I have accumulated over 85 new parts for the outboard including a water pump kit and seals for the lower unit. Some of the bolts needed to be replaced and new thermostats are in hand. The motor has been patiently waiting in our spare bedroom: Click image for larger version

                                Friday night we installed some cool LED lights on the rear of the boat.
