It appears that my tank support stringers end right at the bulkhead of interest (under the cockpit sole). So that will be easier. My tank deck will be lower than those- just about touching the keelson with the 1/2" H80 sandwich core.
Ultimately once I get the under cockpit bulkhead sorted, I think in 2015, I will extend a tank deck like surface above the keelson forward to the next bulkhead in lieu of addition of another proper bulkhead.
With a thrown out back, I won't do much this weekend but send props out for a tune-up, maybe. And I will hire some help for trailer mods and sanding the planing surface dead true. I have a goal of 50MPH, if not 50 knots. If chine walk doesn't get me first. But I need low, low slip numbers to get there. 3-4% Even with a bravo 3, it probably won't happen, but it is nice to dream.
