While I don't have an older toon, I've been looking to upgrade my lights.
So, since no one else spoke up, I'll take them.

Re: THE FLOATER IS GETTING A REBUILD courtesy (pontoonstuff.com)
Man we are getting close!!!! The seats are all mounted except for one which is were the livewell will go. We didn't have a small enough drill to cut the hole for the spigot. The lean back fit perfectly in the extra space! Thanks James! Console is mounted and steering and controller cables are hooked up. Batteries are in, Stereo (2 speakers) and fish finder are wired, we are getting there! The damn tree pollen was pissing me off, I think I'll have to get a vacuum just for the toon carpet! Speaking of the carpet that stuff is so thick it took me an hour to put the four bolts in for the captain's flip flop chair. I drilled the holes in the floor for my bolts and then couldn't find them because the damn carpet sealed back up!
Zach had to go under the boat and push a bolt up from the bottom for me to see the holes.
The cover was kind of interesting too. We started on either side and used a strap at each loop by the time we got to the back we only had two straps left.... so we kind of rigged it... It is supposed to cinch down like a girdle and I couldn't figure out how. Does anyone have a similar cover? I haven't look to see if I could find detailed instructions yet, I think we got it pretty close though. I have the old poles that I used I put carpet scraps on each end to not jack up the cover or the new carpet. I want to eventually do something similar to Loyds pvc poles, but this will suffice for now. We ran short on time with it being mom's Day celebration that night, so we had to come back home. Rear rub rails look brand new now!
This Saturday we are doing a 5k run that finishes on the 50 yard line at Arrowhead stadium, home of the CHIEFS! Then its back down to finish this bitch! A lot of tidy up wiring, hooking up the gas tank, building the bimini, front captains chairs, table holes, new ladder mounts, livewell and rebuilding the sundeck... Damn my list is bigger than I thought....

Looking really good Craig.
After all that work, and with less green in the wallet, I'm sure "The Floater" will be floating a bit higher in the water this summer.
