Nice project How much was added to the stringer height? Like others have said...I never have a wet floor. My 23 was converted from twin I/O to an outboard bracket. Its the "large console" model. Bats were moved to console. New tank is 80gals. I dont have "as built" measurements but below is my sketch plan. I love the boat and the way it came out. Good luck with yours!


and my boat

Hermit, thats very helpful. I am after a very similar setup. Is your sketch pretty accurate in terms of tank location?

The stringers have been raised 2" above normal. I dont have the liner, so I do not know the original level of the sole. The original liner would have had a core, plus the putty that was used between the liner and the tops of the stringers. I could just be back to normal with my 2" raised stringer plus new sole. My new sole will be bonded directly to the top of the stringers with epoxy (1/4") gap maximum.

What I really need to know is the original sole level OR (even better) how far up from the keel is your loaded water line ? As you CG and trim will be almost the same as mine, this will be extremely helpful.

Joel

Joel,
My sketch plan is not to scale but yes...it is an acurate tank location. I can get some measurements for you if youd like. There is also an oil tank mounted in the bilge aft of the tank.

Like Bigshrimpin said the boat performs very nice. An Etec on the back would make it perfect . I cant take credit for the layout as it was copied from Strick's 23 and various Hermco re-habs I just chose a smaller tank for my use.

that waterline measurement would be great.

Its fine that the sketch isn't to scale, i will scale in a some software we use. Just so long as the center of the tank is accurate.

The bottom of my boot stripe is 5.5 inches above the chine. The water line at rest is 2 inches above chine. The full tub on the bracket really floats the tail end of the boat.

Good topic and our colors are very similar! My tank is ~120 and I can get a decent measurement if needed. I believe my deck is std. height.
