Looks absolutely amazing......Great job.

Going to shoot the deck today. I shot the sealer yesterday and it laid down nice and smooth.
This painting business is no joke! LOTS of man hours spent on this step.

In the meanwhile, I ordered this custom made dry sump oil pan. 4 scavaging pickups feeding a barnes pump.
-12 AN males welded in, two pickup ports on each pan rail.

I'll post pics later after the paint goes on the deck.

Have a good day all,

what are you doing for engine bay vents? I have the ones on the back but they suck in all the salt spray and it corrodes everything

The "windshield" masked off for paint:

I have the downward facing "clamshell" vents that are typical of these hulls as well.

im going to close mine and do something else, they get water all over the steering and whatever else you have bolted to the transom on the inside

Don't you have them ducted down to the lower bilge?

No, i didnt know they were supposed to be.

What width did you end up going with on your stringers? Is there a standard width for offshore mounts or is it different depending on the mount? ( i assume it would be)

I have a line on stock 525 offshore mount, trying to figure out the width to glass the stringers in. Im sure you did your research on this so any help is appreciated. I should probably just buy the mount and see how it fits.

Hey sparky.
I'll measure the stringers and report back.
