Are you talking about putting a bulkhead in in front?  If so, yes.  You want to make sure the tank can't break loose and slide forward - one in the aft too, just make sure to leave 1-2% room for expansion after it gets a full tank in her.

BH forward and aft of tank of course with room for expansion. What I was asking is would you glass a panel above the tank from the notch in the stringers to the forward bulkhead? This would completely seal the tank coffin.

I don't see a reason to. Will you have access to the area in front of the forward BH?

Got the forward and aft bulkheads for the tank coffin cut and fitted last week. Still have to cap the stringers before I install the bulkheads. Had to order a few more gallons of epoxy that should be able to do the rest of the bulkheads, knees,and hopefully the closed transom. This weekend I cut my transom cap piece and made a form to screw it to. I had enough epoxy to lay 2 layers of 1708 to the bottom of the transom cap.

Looking good Edward.  :thumleft: 

I don't think I could get in the upper station unless you're using the place you'd normally put the lower station steering for a step - towers are for young people I guess :laugh03:

Got my bow eye installed. Built the block out of some composite i got from Mcmasters. I didn't get a pic of the eye in place but it has about 3/4" of thread to engage.



Randy's masterpiece  :great02:
