No Title
Managed to pickup fuel tank in weekend made of 4mm aluminium with all stainless fittings, which holds 75 gallons (300 Litres),, which was approx. 88" long (2250mm), so that may need to be modified however its a good start
received trailer back from being sand blasted and put a coat of cold galv paint on that
need to chop out more of water ballast tank up front, however turned my attention to the transom as have been trying to figure out how to change the transom angle from 20 degrees which it is now to 10 degrees to suit a Arneson surface drive
So decided to have a closely look at transom and used router at a depth of 3/4" on outside to check the structure
To my surprise found rot, so had a further check and decided to bite the bullet and cut transom out from outside as I need to adjust the transom angle to suit drive
The ply was shot, had a hell of a lot of glass on outside
anyways few hours routing, cutting chipping, need to sand tomorrow
The top part of transom is solid timber no rot
will have to build up inside of transom as well as outside to get the 10 degree angle, however this will work out better than the wedge which I was original going to use
Now have worked out what is happening in transom angle and the need to rebuild transom can proceed to clean up inside of transom where stringers will attached as more cutting/grinding needs to be done here
