    Fuel tank install with water under to bilge

    Hey general population. I see a lot of guys putting fuel cells/tanks and letting water run under them back to the bilge. To me a gas tank is supposed to be placed into a "coffin" as a sealed unit. Not using the hull as a base structure to support the tank. I know it's your boat and you can do...

    Custom Fiberglass Extended Swim Platform

    I am unable to see what the rise is on the interior sides but some ply or other material on inside perimeter with glass should give added bond. I might skip 5200 and go pb on all areas. KC

    How hard is is this to bend. My rolled angle is @ 60 to 70 degree to cover the entire transome. Alternatively I'm thinking a pc. only @ 18" flat where the outboard will sit. The transom is not a true 90 degree bend so I'll have to work that also. Any suggestions/techniques welcomed. Let's see if...

    Yea I know Larry...they ran out of PINK. :D Kirby said it would be a "Special" blend. Mostly NJ people buy it. I like it cause then I can put the green Irish gold over it and let it stand out with that background. I intend to accent the hatch lids witht the same color but not overwhelm the basic...
