Re: stringer pieces in place.
I would have done the bracket . . . but there was lots of talk about the 20ft seacraft being stern heavy. I was affraid that the boat would squat badly in following seas. This is only a problem in tight chop, but in San Francisco bay is nothing but tight chop. Also I think the ammount of glass work involved with making a bracket is more. I wish I were closer to FL to see how RAHIM.N's 20 rides.

Re: stringer pieces in place.
Tim,
Are you going to slide your gas tank up towards the bow to help redistribute the weight? I was thinking of doing that and actually sliding my console forward a few inches as well. What do you think?

Re: stringer pieces in place.
pogden . . . I actually don't know the exact location of the original fuel tank. This boat's previous owner had renovated it once before and there were 2 unoriginal rotten tanks buried under the floor. My plan is to distrubute the weight, so that the boat is still a bit stern heavy. I want the bow to be light, so I can fill a forward fish box

Re: stringer pieces in place.
  Got the front section of the floor leveled. I used the sheet of 3/4" MDO crezon cut into 3" strips. A 4x8 sheet is just enough material to cover the stringer tops with 2 strips (which raises the floor 1.5" + 1/4" of epoxy puddy/glass). I was very impressed . . . the MDO had a only few small voids in the entire sheet. I still have to level the back 7ft of the boat, round the sharp edges, and add 2 layers of 1808 over the tops of the stringers. The make shift floor is a bunch of mdf scraps.

Re: stringer pieces in place.
Whooh, that looks like a lot of work! But I can't wait to ge started [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img],yeah I am sick.
It looks like it is slowly coming together. You raised the original stringer framework all up to the same height using glass filled with foam and now you are raising it up with strips of MDO covered with glass. [3/4" MDO + 3/4" MDO + 1/4" glass = 1 3/4" (stringers) [3/4" sheet of MDO + (+)glass = (+)3/4" (for floor) total height = (+)2 1/2"
