It might have been posted earlier but, what is the total fuel amount when full tanks?

!0,500lb in Diesel... what it the dry weight of the 50' hull alone and rigged ready for fluids?

Were thinking the Boat is going to be around 12,500-13,000 lbs ready for fuel.

Tyson, I know a few people asked but I don't think I saw an answer. Will there be any kind of area you can duck in too that would fit a couple people to keep you guys out of the elements if need be? Great build, great boat.

Don't be a hater b/c Ricky Bobby is an innovator rather than a follower!

We will be able to go into the front hatches and the next compartment is open. We take bean bags with us to sit on up on the deck or lay across to sleep and they will be down there to sit on. I have a small fan down there to cool me down if I'm down there working on stuff or just hanging out, and it will circulate air to try to keep mold down. We will eventually have some kind of bimini top that we can put up over the cockpit.

I had plans tonight, then I found and read this thread for a couple hours instead. Absolutely incredible build and the attention to detail and planning is amazing! Best of luck to you guys and let me know where I send a resume to join the team!
