Capt. Bob,If water gets through the access plate (the one over the Fuel sender for example), would that water just sit around the fuel tank with no where to go or are you saying it will flow out, due to the description you provided regarding the front and rear bilge?
Rick, for the tank support, I expect to use PVC board and epoxy. For the deck, it’ll probably be Coosa and epoxy, and repairing the cut lines with gel coat over epoxy. I’m still working out how best to clamp the deck. Today I started poking a welding rod under the top deck skin to determine where I’m going to make the cuts. My goal is to cut about one inch inside of where the inner and outer deck layers are fused. That’s a really clean tank compartment, Capt Bob.
