Fuel tank, transom, and the beat goes on...
Fuel tank is good. No leaks, no oxidation. 50 gal capacity, custom 3/16" welded aluminum. The tank was sealed with zinc chromate prior to installation so foam should be ok to use (though I do prefer coal tar epoxy...)
On a separate note, I have received lot's of feedback on raising the transom, both for and against. The main reason I chose to maintain the 20" transom, besides preserving the classic design, is keep the center of gravity lower = better ride. Can anyone provide a persuasive argument for raising the transom to 25"?
