First boat - returning to NJ.com

I may try that. I really do believe this boat is solid.

I have been looking to run the electric and think I have a handle on it but not entirely sure where the wires will go. Under the floor would be great but nervous about trying to unfasten the floor and attached compartments. I may be able to run straight through the center but not sure if it will work or If I can get a bilge pump under there or how it will be be fastened..

Saw a cool wiring harness and switch set up and am comfortable building a box for it all. Just not sure where to put the wires. I really don't want to start taking the floor up. Am I missing something really obvious here?

alot of times you can run them up under the gunnels, you want to keep 12 volt power wires away from your transducer cables so you dont get interference on your fish finder

Do you mean to unfasten the gunnels and run underneath? I have to see if they will come off but that would make it easy

no you should be able to just look under them from inside the boat, depending on what type of rail you have,
there is usually room except the boats that have the 1" tube type gunnel
put a pic up of your boat and could prob tell you better how to do it
