I will probably use a similar product

I bought them both because they do not corrode and because of the good cost on the other hand, you only need to raise the floor by 3cm

It really seems they were built for your boat, what's the capacity of each one?
Raising the floor of 3cm is very easy, just add a wood strip on the top of the stringers and you're ok, in a big boat like that 3cm is nothing :wink:

A vented tank is required to eliminate thermal expansion. All the expansion on a poly tank is chemical if vented. The liquid fuel doesn't shrink or expand with temp change, it's the gas vapor above.

in your opinion what is the right fitting for the assembly? the drawings say about 20cm on the side but do not say height

Dainilo,

Those are very nice looking eyes. I think placement of the stern eyes depends on what they will be used for. Is this boat going to be trailered? If so, I would place them about where you are holding them. What else would they be used for? If for towing someone, I would place them higher. I am not sure about using them to lift the vessel, but if that is the purpose of having them, then place them higher as well.

I placed mine on the FS17 about 2 inches down from the top of the transom and about 3 inches in from the sides.

Your work is looking great. What a huge boat.

P/S I lived in Naples as a boy for 2 years while my dad was stationed there.

Regards
Tom in Steinhatchee
