Bulkheads installed.....

Yesterday and today I was able to get the bigger bulkheads installed. I used one layer of chop then a layer of 1708 biax then another layer of chop. After all that then I used 1708 biax to tap them to the bigger stringers. They came out great.

Nida-Bond Stringer Pour.....

Over the last two days I was able to cut the caps on the stringers and fill them with Nida-Bond transom compound. The length of the cavity is 4.5 feet, covering the motor and tranny mounts. After this cures for a few days then I will cap the whole stringer with +-45 then 0-90. This will give me the stiffness I need. Here is a short video and some pics.

Gas tank dry fit.....

Today I picked up the gas tanks. Eight feet looks big when you are standing next to it.

They are not done but we wanted to fit them before it gets welded all up. If something needs to be changed, now is the time.

They fit perfect, now I just need to figure out where the fills, vents and pickups are all gonna go. I have somewhat of am idea just need to do the math and see if it will all fit.
