    I guess I can't edit the original post.

    The text of the hyperlink was correct, the link itself was wrong.

    I'll be adding a few more interior photos this afternoon if the weather cooperates.

    I like the power block under the seat idea...looks like you used connectors for the auxiliary power leads...what kind of connectors did you use, and how well did they work? Feel free to PM me if you don't want the sale thread to go off topic!

    Those are Anderson Powerpoles. They're very commnly used in the HAM radio world.

    Did I mention it has SuperTones? They're installed in stealth mode, but they are there!
