The casual observer would not understand how the detail shots are so compelling but please keep them coming.

The tank pads are 3/8 glass drilled n tapped with 3/4 pvc board spacer. Stringers are 26.5” apart and tank is 24Wx12H so I could have the bottom corners bent instead of welded (48” wide sheet of aluminum). That leaves just enough room for a urethane cushion between tank n pad. The small bulkheads are corecell, the real light yellow.
The bow eye has lots of glass under it first all the way up the stem, then the block is 1.5” coosa with a 3/8 glass pad glued to it. Then tabbed in. Got a sweet all welded 5/8 thread D-ring to go there. The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze on the towing hole on the Squid Lips haha!
