I remember when you posted the pictures of your flip and was just amazed at the size and your pictures made it look easy. One thing you should never hear someone say, " I think we need a bigger boat! " It is big!

Danilo,

I am amazed by your build. Your bottom strakes look like what was on my previous 26 ft boat. That boat ran 42 kts with a single 250 etec. The strakes helped I think. What a beautiful job you are doing on her. The tanks look like they were custom built for your boat. How did you manage that? I assume all the stringers around the tanks will be glassed full height. You are going to have fun running the fuel fill hoses as these suckers are stiff as all get out.

Keep up the great job.

Regards

I cover everything with glass fabric, I hope everything is fine

Danilo,

I think I would keep the tanks totally separate so you can fill each one individually and adjust your cg depending on your fuel load. You can have a fuel feed 3 way valve which you can switch which tank is feeding the engine.

Other option is to turn tanks around so that fill and vent fittings are near each other and get a 1-1/2 inch brass Y or T fitting to connect them.

If tank fittings are higher than stringers you have other issue you need to solve to raise the sole in this area.

Regards
Tom
