The boat looks real nice with paint on it .... Awesome
What kind of wood did you use for the coaming around the cockpit

[jacquesmm]

Yes the boat looks good but the coaming is especially nice. What wood did you use or is it stain?

[Rmarsh]

Thanks all. The wood is "Ipe" sold locally as an exterior decking. No stain, just epoxy now and a uv inhibitor later.
The gas tank is located under the seat in the front of the console. The fuel fill and vent are on the side of the console and is recessed.

Thanks for the reply, keep up the good work!

Very nice work. Love the wood. The plastic tanks give off a lot of fumes. You might want some air vents higher up on the console also.

[Rmarsh]

Thanks Steven. I am planning on a cover over the tank at the seat top level, just above the side vent holes, to seal it off from the rest of the console. I will post pictures of it. But a vent in the upper part, just in case, is a good idea.
