White all the way! Don’t want anyone to mistake it for a mercury! :)

Just shy of an inch. 3/4 ply and then glass laminate

Making great progress

Sent you a pm - call me 727-902-3546. Glad to help. bo

Are you the guys who are tight with Wes in the dolphin research program? sorry to hear the tank woes, I just spent the winter redoing mine, thread is on here somewhere. I am on big pine, and have a lot of leftover material (glass also resin, cabosil, some coosa etc. pm me if you want to...

Final update. Since the patient was open I replaced pumps, hoses, and overhauled a bunch of electrical connections. Put her in the water, ran her back home, and put the tower back on. ready to rumble, fuel truck comes today, hope to fish next weekend. Long project, very pleased with the...

epoxy is the recommended treatment, that is what I had done.

Paint and nonskid down. Used alexseal501 topcoat, oyster white, with c5012 brushing converter, r5015 brush reducer and their a5018 roll additive. 3 coats everything under the gunnel down. Then taped nonskid drain channels around the outside and then a coat of 501, sprinkled soft sand medium...

Hello all - after a monthlong trip to see my grand baby in Texas - and Elon musk blow up starship 11 - and other random facts. I am back on her hard. Spent a couple weekends sanding, flailing, and hitting the deck with the long board of torture. Destination get it allflat! then finish...

I have had a reymarine s1000 gps autopilot for dag gone near 15 years. Use it constantly, and really complain when it does not work! :) I consider them a necessary tool, rarely use it trolling (don’t like trolling in a straight line) but runningevery day. It has a wireless remote, so I can...

I have really thought about your post pelagic2530. Too late now, but it really makes sense. I was on a roll with my plan in my head when I pushed through getting the deck put back together. Putting a waterproofing layer between the tank and foam certainly would have been an easy way to...

Fairing next and the non skid. Going to use Alex seal and soft sand for finish. Going to match the Parker colors - best I can anyway.

Rough in done. I ground off bad spots, spread peanut butter and layers of chopped strand matting, then another full layer of 1708. Sanding in between rounds and really paying attention. last act tonight was to cover it with a coat of waxed gel coat to fill the weave some let her cure. Really...

Progress today started well but ended not so. ... put it this way, I quit while I was behind! made one more round with foam. Then framed in the floor supports. Glued and nailed the deck panel (laminated coosa). here is where I screwed up. Mixed up peanut butter and filled all gaps and...

I am not. The foam is almost flush bow and stern are, the sides 3/4 up. Am I am good with that, it is not going anywhere. trying to understand your question. I really did not have a water intrusion problem, my best guess is electrolysis. where is failed was seriously pitted, and it was on...

Back to making progress. I spent a lot of time getting to coffin right, laminated coosa board to fit the deck opening, grinding around the deck opening, and waited for the tank to arrive. finally, the tank arrived Monday. So I got it in, foamed it, and plumbed it today. Tomorrow, hopefully...

Just got the call from the fabricator. Tank is done will ship tomorrow! Maybe see it this week ..... no real update, continued coffin work, it is ready to go. Cut out templates for the floor, continued general grinding and cleanup. I decided I am going to paint the deck using alexseal and...

Progress report. Got all my supplies, made the run off the keys to nort ft lauderdale ... actually pompano beach. Merritt marine supplies the destination. Awesome folks, had my order ready to go when we arrived. 2 3/4 coosa panels, resin, cam, 1708, resins, foam, gel coat ... you get the idea...

Cecil marine only has waxed. Anybody know where I can source non-waxed? Need a bunch thanks

i used the sender hole for access, put my long a$$ screwdriver through horizontally and threaded it in a shackle. I clamped the come along onto the shackle. The screwdriver gave plenty of surface area in the tank to pull it. Frankly I am terrified of that tank, and we were in some unsafe...
