Love the idea on the plywood. How much did you cost you in materials? I'm doing some rough calculation and the price? Trying to figure out how much it would cost for this build. I did some rough estimate and it seems to be upward 400-500 withj most of the cost in the resins.

those right? price seems reasonable. From the look of it, it is probably not rigid right?
Do you think a brace like this is sufficient?
it'll be holding about 35-40 gallons of water and I would like the lid to be strong enough to sit on. Will urethane work?

I want to build a custom livewell/cooler to fit in the cockpit of a 21ft parker. Picture of what i imagine the shape would be like. I see mix info one what foam works and doesn't and there's one video that say to paint the foam with 5 coats of latex paint before glassing.
Does anyone know the...
I'm guessing I have about 35 40 gallons in my tank I've pumped out about 25 gallons at this point through a fuel filter and the filter remains clean the gas is clear and smells normal.
The only murky fuel was from the first one or two gallons which I'm guessing are sediments from the bottom of...

the kit I got was all flex hose from actuator to the brakes. As some of you pointed out, that first T is so I can add a 2nd set of brakes to the other axle which I won't be needing. At the moment, I went ahead and skip the first T and went straight into the 2nd T. Tossing the spare in the boat...
Instruction say to have 2 T unions but it adds a lot of annoyance to the routing of the cable.
Is it ok to not use that first T union with the plug from the actuator (the X in the photo) and go straight into the union that connects to the brake (the arrow)? Wouldn't it be one less point of failure?
