Lol, I resemble that remark.

Dennis, easy to go down the rabbit hole on this issue, right?

Actually, I am procrastinating because it starting raining overnight and it is warm inside and I am enjoying my coffee and watching The Grand Tour. Shame on me.

Tank will be primered before final install. Ky had the luxury of having the mounting materials provided by GW. I am working from scratch. Corrosion control is my emphasis is well. My fuel cell box was completely dry and clean. I don’t believe a drop of water has ever been in it in 20 years...

Thanks Ky, helps a lot.

Your tank all the way forward and just the 2x4 securing it to the rear?

Hey Ky, where do the sender wires enter the aux tank box?

Yes, just got to come up with the design. Got right about 1 3/4” of space on each side. Thinking I will fiberglass in 1 1/2”x2” wood shims (3 each side and cuddly end) at top of tank with 1/4” neoprene glued to it spaced evenly. Come off the top of wood shim with 1” starboard to secure tank...

No cutting at all. Had it made 3/4” narrower than GW drawing.

Ya, there’s a shelf between the two fuel tank locations for the water tank. My issue is the angles of the belly tank are nowhere close to matching the hull. The flat is closer to 16” across and the diagonals are about 3” across. Not like drawing. Was planning on adding strips of neoprene to...

Went with .125 aluminum, so 55 3/4 gallons or so (lol). I have hit a stump. Really was expecting the tank to fill out the coffin a bit better. That’s what I get for relying on the GW drawing. Gonna have to rethink the support and securing of the tank.

After going back and forth on the future of fuel holding and boat balance for the 226, a decision has been reached. Gave serious thought to replacing the main and only tank currently rigged. The idea was have a new 92 gallon tank built and move the location forward to balance out the added...

Ya, there on there with fuse id’s. A nice feature with the Blue Sea panels.

Very few come up for sale locally and when they do they go fast. Be ready to jump if one shows up. I was licking my lips with what could be had in New Jersey and Florida. The logistics and shipping is a killer though.

That boat is the perfect size for you and a couple mates at Bodega Bay and surrounding areas. I ran a 16’7” Boston whaler Montauk there for 25 years and only had one scare. Just yield to the small craft advisories and you will be fine. On an ok day she’ll run out to Point Reyes and on a good...

Do I spy a tribute to the Legend (Boston Whaler)?

Nice mods. My one irritation is the cramped quarters at the helm. May be looking into this for mine. Well done.

Compressor for air horn. Found a new old stock (1985) AFI marine air horn (made in Japan) on eBay. Chrome over brass. I love it. They went to China since and, well you know.

Thanks, I’ve seen some really nice work but had to work with what was available unless I was going to replace all the wiring, this was the best I could dress it.
