Well, she floats and she runs.
Also, she apparently flies!

Still need to find a windshield, and I think I'm going to skip the t-top and go with a bimini.
T-top was a one-off, garage fab and I think it looked a little funny (see first post).
Didn't offer very much shade either (wife's a red-head, she tends to get a bit crispy).

Looks awesome! Do you have any more details on the transom repair? I see you reworked it from the outside. Also, what hatches did you buy for the back, they look like a nice fit. And the anchor locker hatch?

Erebus,

I lost measurement of wire conduit hole when I replaced my deck. What is distance between edge of casting platform and the forward edge of hole and the length of it

Thank you

Ed

can you tell me how you mounted the tank. trying to figure out how to secure it when it has to expand so much. thanks!

[erebus]

I don't really remember how I fastened it.
I think I just used cleats made from starboard attached to the inside of the box, with strips of neoprene underneath.
Looked through my pics but didn't take one of the tank mounted apparently.
Poly fuel tanks only expand by about 3% so not a huge amount.
A tank 20 inches wide will only expand approx 1/2 inch to 3/4ths of an inch across its width.
Split up over the two sides of the tank that's only 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch on each side.
Not that big a deal.

[JoeyM]

thanks for the response!
