More please, love build pics! :coolcowboy:

How tall is that guy, 3'-6"? LOL

subbed

Actually about 5'6".

Subbed?

I believe he means "subscribed" to the thread.
OSO will send him a notification when there are new posts in the thread.

LOL...yeah it's just subscribing so I can follow along.:ernaehrung004:

I should know this? :eek:

Whats the latest trend on the gas tanks? Do they stay as is in picture or do they get foamed in?

no idea ICE'D, but I gotta stop drinking, starting to see double on your avatar

I don't see any pics - is that because I'm not in the club???

I see double doubles,,,

Actually, a great question.

The tank manufacturer recommends we put 1/4" rubber mat under them and simply thru-bolt. This is based on the thought process of water under the tanks and corrosion. Plus replacement.

Anybody that has ever tried to remove a tank know if it is foamed in you almost can't get it out. It becomes "structure".

This picture was with rubber mat and thru-bolts. However I then foamed them in with 6 lb density foam. It is part of the structure.

Pat

Pat hard to tell in the pics but is your aluminum fuel tanks externally coated to help against corrosion issues down the road. Just asking

Something like these in the link

If not there is products today to even clear coat them or even bed liner coatings.

What are your stringers made of ?

I went back and forth and ended up just doing the rubber strips on mine without the foam... I think it`ll be ok too.

^^^^^ according to your picture it looks like you have additional huge structural sound twin fun bags that your fuel tank can be mounted in between for the extra support needed to handle those rough days of offshoring. ^^^^^^^

^^^^^ Seen it before, wait 'till those tiny stringers break during a hard pounding and reveal moisture in hard to reach areas. Looks good now but when she gets older, the keel pad will get wider and stress cracks will appear out of nowhere ^^^^^

It's a Cult, not a club!

Divinycell

^^^^ good to know THX Brian

Does Coosa make them?

Built the first one like this in 2002. It is Outlaw, our F2 raceboat. Not a crack or moisture anywhere,

Know your builder and his process before you give your opinion.

I think he was referring to ICDEDPPL's avatar. :D

I think this was his intent as well ^^^

Unreserved apology, the post was a sarcastic comment following on from the preceding post.
Another member made a fun comment in reference to ICDEDPPL and his latest avatar, my post was a follow on and no serious reference to your boats was intended. (double entendre)

To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever criticized Active Thunder build quality and I believe they are built to a first class standard in all respects.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, please re-read my post and if you wish, I will delete it.

Jon.

I was the one who changed direction in the thread - about ICDEDPPL pic in his AV. It is very hard to miss the twin mount fugi's he has for a picture. Myself and rak rua was only commenting on his AVATAR pic.

VERY Sorry to mess up the post and the misunderstanding as I knew where rak was coming from but also see how it could be taken the wrong way.

It is clearly shown the AT pic is one strong built boat with a stringer grid like that. Hence the reason why I asked what material was it to even reinforce that end of it. Also Divinycell is not cheap to buy.

I musta had my DIckhead hat on when I read the post. Sorry about that. Pretty bad when the most sarcastic person in the world can't tell when something is sarcastic.

For your information, though, the material we use in the transom and stringers is Bluwater Coosa board. We use the 26# density in the transom. We use divinycell 1/2" coring in the hull sides and the deck.

You obviously had a different hat on when laying out these boats. :rolleyes: Very nice set up.

I didn't catch that it was sarcasum the first time either... It was funny the second time I read it!

Rak Rua thats what there are for:

Please us accordingly :D

Thank you, Been wanting that info for a bit now.

How has this beast progressed?

Delivered. Another being built.

So we have an outboard...what length and how many motors?

I'm looking forward to this one, curious what the final graphics are going to be!

The yellow looks great.

so when do we get to peak up the skirt here to see what she is going to be wearing ??

37 feet. And 2 or 3 Mercury outboards of different HP......

Good answer :D
