Fuel Tank Set
Good day today. I was able to set the gas tank and run the hoses and fuel sender wire. Also, was able to glass in some more supports for the floor. I left about one inch of the original floor but I think some added support can't hurt.
3/4" plywood going in tomorrow for the floor. Stingers are also 3/4" plywood with 1708 and CSM. I can't believe how strong this stuff is when cured. I plan on using my V often in the ocean and I will know this boat is built like a tank!

It DOES look oversized...and that's a good thing!!
Are you going back w/a removable lid? That's some really nice work...

52 Gallons
I was able to find a tank that fits locally for sale. 52 gallon poly tank. Cleaned it out, installed new fuel sender, installed new filler, vent line and fuel supply line.
52 gallons should give me about 200 miles with the Merc 470. I am not going to cut the floor to make it removable just installing access plates for the fuel sender and pickup. I installed this tank to last a long time. No foam, 3/4 plywood glassed on both sides, poly tank (no rot). I am not planning on going back into the tank well every again... I was able to install most of the floor today and glassed over it with CSM (one layer) I need to do one more layer and some fairing around the sides. How do you get some of the rough areas out of the floor? I am guessing some sanding in between layers... Thinking about doing Kiwigrip non skid. The person that sold me the resin told me to use gelcoat with pumice. Any suggestions?
