Overall, Life is good. When the shop closed I weighed 214. I started a lowcarb/keto diet as my blood sugar was out of control. I weigh 179-183 now and my sugar is around 122-128 in the morning.
Well Done!!! I know how hard that is to accomplish.

Happy birthday Eric as always I am a day late. Sounds like all is going well glad you are using the ply, and the girls are also doing well.

Many regards, Tom

I am in the process of purchasing the C21 kit. Although this is my third boat build - 16' skiff with 20hp & 20' tandem sea kayak - I am definitely in the novice category and will enjoy the needed advice of those with expertise. I am especially looking for guidance on how to stub out all of the cables from the console to the motor. and choice of fuel tank and it's installation. I have no clue on either of these two and I'm sure as I move along. I am a one many show and will do the build alone. Thanks ahead for any feedback. Bruce

Welcome to the forum. Having experience with the materials used is a great advantage. Routing chases, plumbing and electrical are all opportunities to scratch your head and think about what will be best for you. I have some pictures of installing my tanks here, app.php/gallery/search/self/7

Re: chase tubes, I was told early on the wider is better. I have run all of my controls, steering and wiring harness through one run of 4" pvc with ease. I also gave myself a 2" run on the port side which has only been used thus far for a 6 gauge wire from the battery switch to the fuse panel in the console. Will also use this for x-ducer cable. Some pics on page 9 of the same album linked above
