Yes Dan, you need to be able to inspect the hose and hose clamps for wear and tear every couple of years or so. The boat is looking great :D

Sounds good; just tryin to help. Even a 4" may work.

The tank connection needs to be made accessible as well. Only mention cuz mine was cut in late!

I get it. Always appreciate the constructive comments.

The cut out for access over the connection on the aft tank needs to be cut in too due to momentary memory loss. :lol:

As it turns out, what was forgotten, running bonding wires from fill ----> tank.

Emergency temporary access panel, a coat hanger and assist from my oldest daughter facilitated fishing a pull wire through the conduit and up the side.

Don't forget your bonding wires, kids.

This weekend I was thankful for a lot, but also for lighting fast shipping from Reid and Jeff so my 3 gallons of epoxy and 10 yards of 10oz glass made it here in time for a few days off.

Bow deck and first section of gunwale cap glue in place, and tabbed from underneath!

9153

Fixed a batten along the tops of the frames to scribe on the bottom of a piece of 1/2". Cut close to the line and faired before bedding.

9155

9157

Filleted with wood flour, tabbed with 12ox biax tape, and then covered the inside of the upper side panel with 10oz woven for consistent coverage and finish.

9159

9158

I think next is some glass on the forward half of the sole, and station E, on which the gunwale cap will tie in to. Engine well after simultaneously.

Feels like momentum now.

Looks good Dan. One thing I notice is you don't have a batten glued on each side of the frames to give you more gluing service area for the deck especially where they join the next section?

True, but I doubled up the frames so they are 1” thick, and letting the joint sit in the middle. A good 1/2” under then end of each with a fillet. Still maybe need a little more?
