3" rigging tubes. (Factory stringers are off by as much as 2" side to side which made it a pain to get em "symmetrical")

Still figuring out fuel tank...

All i can say is DO NOT use "Best American Welding" in Vero Beach for anything....

Looks like some pretty great progress.

You may want to consider electrical sweeps instead of the elbow 90's !

Unless you are using all fly by wire controls etc..

Just my 2¢ worth !

Nice job you are doing for sure...:cool:

I just came across this thread. Looks like nice clean glass work and a quality build.

Thanks guys.

Pic kinda makes the elbows look squatty, theyre streets. My homie depot doesnt carry 3" gray stuff for whatever reason? Shouldnt phase teleflex extremes... not a fan of the tactile-ness ( or lack of) on the electronic stuff just yet

Console is just a jig for the one i will build. Pretty close to the 18'er console but with a few tweaks. Mainly a bigger flat between helm panel and electronics face to fit beers! And an extension on the sides with a flat for rod holders, fuel/water fills, and a place to put feet when stting on leaning post
