Beautiful work. Those 90 degree curves are really nice. Fuel tank looks pretty far forward. What's the capacity and what engine is going on the bracket?

131 gal. 300-400 horse single, whatever pops up at that time i guess.

Im not sure where the tank was originally but my gut said put it up there to offset the 1100# of livewell, motor and bracket going in the stern. Plus the under leaning post cooler and people always seem to accumulate back there.

The glass angle pieces serve as a nice bolting flange for the tank and more glue area/support for the deck. That area is 36 x 51 so i felt better with a lil more support. Aft end of the tank will be under the front of the console. Everything will be all open underneath. Side boxes/vents will come down above the 2 small outside bulkheads (which still need the glass trimmed out of ). You will be able to crawl from the transom to the fuel tank too

Looks great! Tons of good info here. Could you provide some more details on your keel replacement/ layup schedule? I have a 78 that needs the wood keel removed.

Thanks!

This one had a pvc pipe glassed over with some 24oz roving...

I forget exactly what i laid in there after i ground all the old crap out, but i think it was a couple 1700s and a 40oz quad. Then i capped the pipe with another 1700 and a 40oz quad.

Plugging away..

I have molds for these gutters, 32x32 and 16x36. I go a step further and fill the bottom side and glass it in. Divinycell/epoxy and solid glass inserts for gas shocks mounting bases.

Theyre all connected with glass pipe which leads to a trough and side scuppers. The notches for the pipes havent been cut yet so its sitting high in the pics...
