Mike
 Things are looking good. I have not been by to see how they are coming on mine. It been there almost a month. I know they have yours and another one in front of mine. Can wait to see mine start to shape up. keep the up date coming.

Mike,

Hows it coming along. Haven't heard from ya for a bit. Did you decide to do the Port-a-bracket or fixed bracket? Check out the para-lifts too!

Where did you get your "anchor compartment"? Did you create it yourself?

I love the way you did all the tank compartments too. I wanna have compartments in my floor as well, not necessarily for tanks, but for storage. Did you create those yourself as well?

Keep us posted!

Hey Bear,

I decided to bite the bullet and go with the Porta Bracket.

The anchor compartment and the tank hatches are ideas that me and Shawn (Stem to Stern) came up with and he designed. The tank hatches have removable tank braces so that the area can be used for storage or fish boxes when the tanks are not going to be used.


Gelcoated the inside gunnels and cap.




Transum cap to be added and enclosed to house any pumps and hoses.



They are going to try and paint the outside this weekend.  :D

Lookin' good Mike.
Guess you're ready for the badges Jim made for you about now huh?  I'll bring them to the get-together. (LilRichard, I'll give yours to Mike too.  All 4 are on the same board that Jim put together.)

Mike, I've been looking at the hatches in your boat and am wondering how they'll keep anything dry.  Looks like any water that comes into the boat will go right into every compartment through the hatches because there are no "lips" around them to keep water out.  Did they have a plan to make these water tight somehow?  You should have at least one "dry" compartment I would think.

Also, are the hatches going to be hinged? If so, are the hinges going to be recessed or will you have "toe-stubbers" everywhere? These little "finishing touches" are what really make the boat stand out and show what the builder can do.

From boats I have been on, I think those are just "pull out" covers... meaning no hinges- they just pull out.  They are nice, flush, and provide good access.  However Rick is correct, they do let water in.  

I would rather use those types myself (because they are easier to make) but I am going the other route (channeled hatch receiver) because they will keep more water out of my bilge.  They are a pain to make though.

Man that looks good... I wish mine was that far along!

Looking good Mike, Did you guys raise the floor at all? What color scheme are you going with?

Mike. It looks awesome, definately coming right along. Nice move on the porta-bracket!

As far as the hatches go, along with what the others were saying as well, are they going to be hinged? And...Did you have to raise the floor?

Hey Guys,

I didn't really raise the floor. If you look at at the stringers, they go up to the bottom of the old floor before they were glassed over. If it is raised, it's only by the thickness of the floorboard being placed on top of the old floor lip.





The hatches will be hinged but everything will be resessed into the floor. No toe stubbers!
This was the ProLine that was done just before mine. Same hatch style.



As far as drainage ..... I guess I didn't put to much thought into that.  :shock:
I don't have any channels built into the lip.  I'll have to talk to Shawn about that. Thanks for the reminder!

In the pix you've posted, I didn't see any scuppers in the transom.  Are there going to be any?
Make sure you have a BIG bilge pump or 2.  If you get caught in a heavy Tampa Bay storm, with all that water going right into the bilge, could get ugly.
I remember one day I did get caught in a storm up there and I beached the boat and it still almost sank with the bow on the beach.  I was out there in the downpour bailing with anything I could find. :roll:

RickK is correct... you need two decent sized pumps (1000GPH+ each) regardless of scuppers.

Yep, I'll have scuppers. Just not in yet.

So far I've purchased only one 1200GPH pump for the bilge.

I guess the second one gets mounted higher than the first bilge and used only when the first is overloaded or fails?  Good plan, thanks.

My pumps are at the same level but I mounted the backup float switch about 2" higher than the primary.
