twins on a porta bracket would be cool, but she's getting a 175 optimax.

Great progress Aaron. Looking forward to seeing it come along... maybe even hijack a few ideas from you along the way.

Post a pic of your stringers when you get them glassed

[Aswaff400]

found a fuel tank that should fit nicely under the deck. its a v/belly tank, kinda in a wedge shape... 73 gallons. should give me a nice range when full... as bob says "better to have and not need than need and not have"

my goal is to have the stringers foamed and done by the end of the month.

Aaron, you're gonna hate this.  Dug out my 2007 Proline parts book with all the PL pricing that they got from the vendors.  A 70 gallon roto-molded tank from Inca?  $160.  Now granted, it was most likely rectangular, but don't that just make you sick? :x  :x  :x

bob, ive just been using that site to search for tanks. i can order at work through a different distributor on the marinas account to get a decent discount...

[Aswaff400]

ordered my fuel tank last night, couldnt make up my mind on going with a 50 gallon to 70 gallon tank, so i settled  on a 62 gallon moeller tank, should fit perfect between the stringers and under the deck

[gran398]

Excellent.

 The fit is more important than the slight difference in capacity

[Skoot]

Hey Aaron, any recent pics of progress??

[CLM65]

That's a poly tank, right Aaron?  That sounds exactly like what I will be looking for.  Can you pm me with details (dimensions, price, where you bought it, etc)?  The biggest moeller tank I've found that doesn't look too tall is a 55 gallons.

And ditto on Skoot's pic request!

[Aswaff400]

ill post pics once i get closer to pouring the foam, which may be next week.

yall are welcome to stop by any time to check out the boat.

[Aswaff400]

question:
i know its probably been asked before but, is it ok if i use 2lb foam inside the stringers, or should i stick with 4lb?
