Nice job, Fossil! I hope to finish mine up this weekend.

(By the way - My super-mega twin battery setup only cleared the starboard right bank headers by 3/8"! )

Default Crapper tank

We were thinking we were pretty smart guys putting the crapper tank alongside. Dan built a nice tray square and plum.......touched the header when the starboard motor was installed..crap. So we made a sliver wedge to tilt it a little away from the header. I put some foam under to support the center of the tank. It'll work....more news tomorrow..sea trial. I left the hinged floors out. It gives more access to the front I think.we will see

it kills me that you have to put the Holding Tank in the ER ..Just seems there would be room under the cockpit floor to the starboard side of the fuel tank ... with the Vacuflush does the tank have to be downhill hill from the head ? I have even thought about under the Gunwales on the side storage area ...it would have to be a thin tall tank though ... shame to mess up all the art work you guys have done with a box of crap ......
