DE 27.5
Re: DE 27.5
Progress update. Patched all the doles in the deck, I will fiberglass over them before I put nonskid down. Next, I need to glue the roof down and seal up the remaining holes to make the cabin more weather tight.

Re: DE 27.5
Looking really good! Glad to see you back working on finishing the boat!
Are you going to make use of the space on each side of the motor well?

Re: DE 27.5
On one side of the motor, I will have batteries, the other side will house fuel valves. I am going to end up with four (4) fuel 19 gal. fuel tanks that fit under the gunwales. I also plan on using some of the space for storage if possible.
Re: DE 27.5
Got the windshield fitted in today. Also set one of the four fuel tanks in place to check fit, it looks good.

Re: DE 27.5
That should give you good range and the ability to adjust fuel load as needed. I am thinking this is going to be a nice rig!!
Re: DE 27.5

Re: DE 27.5
I surprised at how much fuel vapor I get from the lines. Be warned.
Re: DE 27.5
Dan I am a little concerned about your boat if you can smell fumes from your hoses. Did you use Class A hoses which should not allow any vapor to escape. Tomfallguy1000 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2023 8:43 pm I surprised at how much fuel vapor I get from the lines. Be warned.
