I worked in the garage and brought it inside for pics. We had a storm come through last night, it cooled the garage off to about 90 with about 80% humidity, felt great!
Matt, what would I do the fan for?
I'm going to take it over to the boat in storage tonight and hopefully install. Then wire it up this weekend... This will be the first weekend since April we won't be in the water boooooooooo

Nice job. That should work well. What does your wife think about using her counters and table for a fab shop?
I was thinking the same thing. He is always using them. Granite makes a great workbench.lol
It's too hot to do anything in the garage and no basements in Az.
Do you guys aircondition your garages?
My garage here in SE Louisiana is air conditioned and has 2 ceiling fans. Doesn't help too much unless I keep the door closed. Temp today will be 93* with 90% humidity. Then after the thunderstorm this afternoon the humidity will go up to about 98%.

Good deal. Is it wired yet. You should put some rgb leds in those grilles while your back there.

I've gone back and forth between replacing existing bulbs with LED bulbs and just converting to strip lighting. I haven't done anything yet because I haven't made up my mind which one I want to do. Which one did you do? How do you attach strip lighting?

I didn't do strip lighting. Slideruler did that. I did individual led's.

Did you just replace the factory bulbs with LEDs? Or do new sockets and everything?

Most of the time you can just replace the bulbs. I think your up for the challenge. Lol
But then you are stuck with one color but that's ok.

Jeesh Thunder. You'll have more in that trailer than you do your boat!

Thanks! Wife is gonna be pissed when she sees the boat parked in the living room. Worth it.
Wasn't planning on an inner liner, but I suppose I could. What's the benefit?

No kidding. I should have done tandem fenders to begin with, the bent fender problem wouldn't have happened if I did it this way.
