Do those tanks swell at all. I know that my 18 gallon tank swelled so much one summer that it got wedged under the stern seat and I had a heck of a job getting it out. Could that swell and push up on the sole, just wondering??

Not with me, a motor that big would blow my boat out of the water.

Wow, that sure would make my Nina fly

That is a pretty small boat and would be easy to flip over, put in some forms and pour with the hull upside down.. or maybe not. I had the feeling that it was maybe a little bit structural the way it was moulded under the gunwhale. edit: I just looked at the pictures again and guess flipping it woul...

glass first then stringers and then 12oz biax tape (2 layers staggered) on each side of each stringer. Should be pretty rugged. If you want to add frames (thwarts) they need to be taped in too. Nice looking boat, interested to see your progress. If you fill the area under the sole with pour foam it ...

Squegee the heck out of it if you are doing it that way or the cloth will "float". I would wait and add the thickened epoxy on top where it belongs.

I like Larry's idea.

Geez, I feel positively left out! I am using a 6 gal portable tank

Nice work Ross, must be a big relief to have her flipped.

Thanks, sorry for the hijack
