I think that is a very good hatch option for seats, I was planning to do the same thing in my V seats at the bow,in my opinion when finished almost impossible for water to enter there, great thinkingremedy32 wrote:Hi Lung,

Re: Lung Boy's FS17
Actually the hatch in the casting deck area is missing the rest of the inside trim to channel spray back down into the cockpit. You can see the first piece in place. It's got a groove routed in it to direct the water (hopefully).

Re: Lung Boy's FS17
cape man, i'm back.
Taped in the frames and the motorwell sides. Also added a frame. I didn't even ask anyone if it was a good idea to add the extra frame, I just did it.
The layout is going to be a center console. A rear deck up to the extra frame that added. The baitwell will go between frame E and the added frame with storage compartments on each side. The baitwell walls will be lined with 1/2 inch H80 foam. May need some help with a layup schedule.
The forward deck will go back to frame B. A gas tank will go in front of frame B. I envision a wide tank (almost the width of the boat at frame B) of about 15 gallons. I would like to run the fuel line under the starboard gunnel.
I need to figure the number and size of chase tubes for steering, controls, electrical, sounder. Any suggestions?

Re: Lung Boy's FS17
Use nothing less than 2" with wide sweeps for the steering and controls or it will not go through. 1.5" with sweeps for the other stuff.
Glad to see you back at it!!!
