Everything about this setup was perfect. Fished the boat a lot offshore w bait tank full, loaded ice, 3-4 guys. Sat good in the water, ran good, and self bailed.

Noticed your stringer was cut out for the fuel fill/vent also, maybe this was standard... Mine is solid stringer now  I am raising the sole only 1-1.5". It self bailed before and should be fine only 1" higher. The method I am using is to build an "H" frame of laminated plywood overtop the stringers on which the sole will sit. I am going to use 1/2" divinicell for the aft 6' of the cockpit sole and the fwd sides, and 1/2" ply for the center section between the stringers on the fwd 6' of deck. I'm leaving the casting platform/anchor locker. Will glue and tab the new sole to the hull sides and casting platform, as well as the stern molding. 35 gal plastic tank under the sole, with provision for a 20 gal seat tank in the console if I end up needing more capacity. Valve, filter, and flowscan will all be under the sole accessible via access hatch. I am also eliminating all the original molded hatches (CC hatch, bow hatch, casting platform hatch). Glassing them over and replacing with plastic drop in units. I know the boat will be about 150-200# lighter after all this. Materials for sole and new H frame support is only 2 sheets 1/2" ply, 2 sheets (+ a scrap) 1/2" divinicell, 20-25 yds 1208 glass, 5 gal vinylester resin, plus misc reinforcements, resins, bog, and such. New tank is less than half the weight of the old tank. Made great progress yesterday getting the H frame laminated and glued and tank supports glued in. Will get some pics and update the Google brain. Cheers! Go Hawks!
