Thanks guys not sure what you mean Rob, filler vent feed maybe he missed something, would appreciate some feedback,

Here is the schematic for the tank I had made for my SS.

 

[Watermann]

Also I would prime and paint the tank as well to help with corrosion resistance, Moeller did a black tar coating on mine.

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, he put the fuel line at the back bottom of the tank the fill and vent is at the top next to the fill fitting good idea about the paint, Thanks

 

[Watermann]

Ok, yeah my pick up line was put in the back of the tank too for feed purposes the stern is always lowest. I also forgot to mention the grounding tab too, it's a good idea to use one rather than ground from the sender.

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, we are going to put a ground feed on it thanks for the reminder, almost forgot. we redesigned the transom going to put a rear casting deck there with jump seats, and the live well in the bow.

Hi Bud and son of Bud!

You guys are working fast. Lots done since I stopped by on Sat. Keep up the good work!

Having the tig welder sure makes this work a lot better. The fuel cell looks great. and the custom splash well and transom couldn't be done without the tig. Awesome work..:triumphant:

 

[budski]

Thanks Ron, and the tig sure does make it easier Decker

Got some aluminum cladding on the inside and outside of the redesigned transom

 

[Watermann]

That's a much better design, much like the V5 style transom and SW.

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, was thinking we should have made it about 4 inches lower on the outsides , but it's done now so it will have to do.

 

[budski]

Got her painted today.

 

[Watermann]

Looks great, nothing like a fresh new paint job :thumb:

 

[FIGMO]

[budski]
