I just measured one of them their pennies and them things are ¾” tall. That’s a lot of glass.

Re: New Fuel Tank... Finally
 

I understand you reasoning, but I would have never done that and taken point's off the boat at resale for not doing it.

It's just to easy to do and the protection is well worth it.

Deck - hatch work... pics
 

Started working on the new deck piece. Recessed lip for the (Warthog suggested) Armstrong hatch. I think it’s going to work out well... Also building a lip for the hatch that covers the back of the tank to rest on…
