Looking for a couple of P III owners to discuss some minor details about the boat

I recently bought a P III. It is not in the best of shape and I am working on that.I have a few questions about things like the rubber pads and hold down strap associated with the partners rod storage.I am also interested in where/how you have mounted chargers. (The boat had none and I am working on that, too, but its a darned tight fit.)I have hung a 200 OptiMax on it and would like to hear about your setup for comparison.Also, I am repairing rod locker lighting (sockets, bulbs, mercury switches). The lights that work come on when the lids are open; a good thing, but what to do if I am leaving everything open for the boat to dry out after a wet day. Does each light circuit need to be manually disconnected?The boat has a 74# MinnKota TM. Is that enough for big river fishing? The Potomac will be a frequent site as well as the Chickahominy and James Rivers.Hope to hear from a few owners and maintain contact as I get this boat ready for the water. Thanks.Michael

Thank you for the VERY INFORMATIVE pics and comments.I will have to move a fitting for the bungee…no problem there, and take a look at the very creative charger location. I am sure that is not factory. Back when I was working in the business we put Lesters on the inside of the transom but somehow there does not seem to be as much room or I have gotten less flexible; I cannot get it back in there.Thanks, again.Michael

I am on top of things for the moment.That moment will not likely last for long, though.
