I put down a layer of closed cell neoprene under the tanks to help support the tanks over slight irregularities in the floor and bottom of tank. The wells themselves have drains on both sides towards the middle just in case. Its a commercial flooring material that has a diamond plate pattern that i feel helps drain as well.

Hey i think this qualifies as actual rigging . . . . actual rigging . . . . that means we've turned the corner and are half way done! (JUST KIDDING . . . JUST KIDDING AL! we're way past that . . . AL? . . . . . . Al??. . . i think Al may have blacked out for a minute there after the half way wise crack . . . .)

At any rate just wanted everything done in the bilge so the tanks got final foamed and bolted in as well as some of the rigging tubes i added under the floor, cant never have to many rigging runs. Also Santa final sanded the prime/gel while we had access. Almost all of this rear structure is new along with some extra outboard stringers so the engines no longer have to be through bolted through the sides of the boat.

yes, the ones on the tubes are stainless. Those ones sitting on the tank were a set i bought because the stainless set was to big and i was not sure i was going to be able to shorten and re drill the stainless ones (a b!tch drilling that thin flat stainless but i did it) i got them in case i needed to temp hang them . . . .. good eye though . . . . good eye . . . . i call them Adel clamps and i have no idea why, i think i heard Jon call 'em that once and it stuck

“Cushion clamps” were originally developed for aircraft use and Adel was the manufacturer thus the name.
