Thanks Tom!
The frames are per the plans - the span between frames D and E is about 6 feet. I think it's done that way to accommodate the fuel tank maybe?
Looks like I double posted one of the isometric views of my model. I meant to post this one which shows the fuel tank, and the port-a-potty under the console:

Re: MG20 center console
A fishing buddy and I were talking about my boat this morning. He wants me to build one for him, but I am not sure that I have another build in me.
If I was 10 yrs younger, I would seriously consider custom building this hull. I would stick to the standard dimensions (not up-scale it 10%!) and offer it either in a bass boat style like mine (side console, front and rear casting decks) or as a center console with a large, walk around cockpit.
I luv my BIG boat, its perfect for the reasons I built it - but its size would be limiting for many.
Your boat is looking good!
Carry on!

Maybe your boys would take it on with some guidance from “the old man”. Could be fun.

Re: MG20 center console
So about that transom bracket- would it be reasonable to actually built that on to the transom using 10 or 13mm ply and some heavy biaxial fabric layers? Or maybe core it with Aquaplas or Coosa?

Re: MG20 center console
Did this ever get past the concept stage?
