Cut a hole in the side today up near the gunwale for a bilge pump through hull. This is what it looked like, strong 5/8 to light 3/4 inch of glass. Not sure if this tank will float or not

Good stuff Fuzz! Looking forward to hearing how the rat rods tests go.
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).

AA is in Alaska now and will be ready for some fishing in a few days I bet. And Capeman and spouse are not far behind them. We are pretty pumped to see all of them.
