leotis,

I would take that bulkhead out before planking just to make life easier later on, besides that you don't really need it for the planking.Just my two cents

Your talking about frame F? You have done this already so if you think it will be easier later i will take it out. Thanks Peter.

Now I see you have less frames as I do so I don't know if it's F, I mean the frame before the transom

Yes , i have one less than you do, now that i've gotten this far i wish i would have ordered the CS25 plans. I would start over if i thought i was going to have more time. Are you still waiting on your fuel tanks? Did you ever consider saddle tanks? Not sure if you we could use them on the carolina style boats?

To be honest I don't know what you mean by a saddle tank Yes I'm still waiting for my tanks they told me next week they are finished at last, Saturday they will be here to dry fit them and make a final decision for the connections. You are making the bracket version of the 23 so actual you have the 25 (think the glass half full not half empty)

This is a Saddle tank, they go in the Gunwhales. They are tapered, larger at the top than at the bottom, Same concept as the belly tanks. just in a different location.

Nice but I think it would make Bateau boats with a 100+ gallon capacity unstable, not sure though
