Ok thank you, I’ll probably fill the tank full of water after rinsing it a few times unless I can put a purge on the tank with argon. Working in the petrochemical industry has taught me not to mess around with flammable vapours and any source of heat lol. I’ll have to figure out a way to tackle...
i figured it would be a lot of stress onto the hose to bend it that much, as well as probably creating a dip in the line that would give me a headache when fueling. I have the tools and equipment to weld aluminum with my TIG machine. I'll look into cutting the neck on its vertical part and...
Cut the plastic runners to fit my tank and life it off the bottom, gonna attach them to the tank with some Gflex 650 after I address a few spots with some pitting using the same epoxy. The plastic should be thick enough to provide the gap at the bottom crease off the hull but if not he got some...
got the back 4'x8' cut to shape and fit into the hull, it was the easiest shape to start with while i had minimal time to work away on it, ill need another sheet for the section of flooring closer to the bow in my main deck, as well as using some remaining plywood for the floor at the back.
Rain all day today, I’ve had my 1/2” ply waiting in the boat ready to be cut to size for my flooring and today’s the day I’ll begin.
Got my 1/8” thick, 1-1/2” leg length aluminum angle all measured, measured, cut, measured, and riveted in to place lol. Used 0.183” diameter countersink rivets...
been at a standstill again due to unforeseen challenges and other life events lately. Got the plywood flooring for my casting deck sealed up with OTF and then painted with oil based paint. I plan to use a marine vinyl for the flooring since my last boat had carpet and I was not a fan.
I’ve got...
got the bow section complete, cut all of the flooring to fit and pre drilled all the mounting holes in the sub flooring before drilling into the wood so I could properly seal each hole. Planning on completing the rest of the floor within the hull so I can avoid scratching paint while fitting the...
Sub flooring beneath bow casting deck cut and fit into place. Gotta seal and paint the wood and will install once foam is under/around the spaces and the frame is in.
Got my transom cap fabricated, happy with how it went for looks. Started a corner cap design that I may refine up to look a bit neater and tie everything together. Began roughing in the wooden storage subfloor pieces and happy with their fit considering it will all be painted and wrapped in...
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have at the moment of the tank between the stringers, I’ve read to not let the weight rest on the ribs in the bottom of my hull so that’s why I thought I should be welding brackets to suspend it between my stringers. My biggest thing is having a way to...
Thank you, I haven’t had time to go look at the wiring harness plug but I figure that was the most important factor and the shift/throttle cables obviously aren’t as specific besides them needed to be compatible with the control box.
Not sure if anyone follows this thread but I’ve been looking for some answers in mounting the 15 gallon aluminum fuel tank that came with the hull. I don’t have any pictures of it but originally it was between the stringers and held down with some metal strapping that was riveted to the...
It unfortunately wasn't my idea, PO did it to get the controls split and disconnected. I didn't know if any 8 pin harness remote controls would work as long as the harness was compatible and the cable movement directions were correct.
Finally got some power for the hull, found this 93' Merc 75hp for sale by the original owner who had it gone over by the outboard mechanic at the shop he worked at.
As far as i'm aware it needs a new voltage regulator but an even 130# on all 3 cylinders and runs like a top. Was impressed by how...
