Reagan Tom here. finally had a chance to go through and find the bracket or as I learned pod builders in Australia. So here we go.
http://www.dolphinaluminium.com.au/services.html They also build custom gas tanks. Check with the others also, though gas tanks are a different breed.

At least a couple of these are in WA I do not know about the rest as I am not familiar with your postal codes. Keep on sending the pictures, love them.
One last thing, you mentioned putting your 90 HP motor on this boat. I ran some motors through my speed calculator, the 90 would give you a top speed in the low 30's. a 115 in the mid 30's and a 150 in the high 30's very low 40's.

Thanks heaps for the info Tom.
No, not planning on using the 90 (other than to help finance the new OB through the sale of it)

Your welcome. Didn't take long at all. One last thing I am the prop guy here on the Forum so when you decide on the motor you want I can come up with tye final top speed for your boat weight as it leaves the dock and the prop it should have. I just used 2700lbs guestimate for the above speeds on the previous calculations I made. Also I assume you are going offshore I would recommend a 4-blade prop. Let me know when you get closer to finishing.

All panels on and aligned, ready for gluing.
I found tile leveling wedges really good for aligning the panels.
I added an extra slice on the upper side panel to try and eliminate the "droopy bow" that I've read about on these forums.

Re: CS23 Build: Open Deck / Closed Transom
And now all glued.

Unfortunately the camera stopped working so no images of aligning all the panels or doing the gluing.
