Good luck sanding Eric. Boat looks pretty good. Could have been worse if it had gotten rained on...Eric1 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 1:11 pmNo Sir, I was clear on that. If they didn't want to make one for me for free I'd gladly have paid for one. I expected nothing for free.

Re: Eric's C21
Thanks I'll get it sorted. It got a ton of rain but I decided to put limber holes in it before it left the shop. I'm so glad I did.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 1:33 pmGood luck sanding Eric.

You were backburnered. There was no money in it and they treated you as such. That is shitty, but common in America. Not all, but some guys get super busy in spring and try to make a ton of ching, but the guy should have some shame. Some people don't.

A throw back post to last February!Eric1 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 4:07 pm I spent this morning cutting rubber strips for my tanks.
I beveled the edges with a belt sander to make them easier to pull in and out.
Held in place with packing tape for fitting purposes.
The sides used the 1/4" thick strips as projected. The long ends only had room for an inner tube thickness.
Tank Manufacturer recommends gluing these to the tank with 5200. I've seen some builds where y'all have glued the rubber to the boat.
I'm not sure it matters.
Fitted and checked for level!
The next task is to get it on the trailer to take home.
Eric, can you tell me the dimension to the centerline of the fill inlet and the diameter? I'm trying to figure out my tank options.
Thanks!
