finally some pictures !!! Thanks !
|
How will this boat run top end mph wise vs a 41 Apache with an equal drivetrain setup? Say both have staggered 1200’s and dry sixes... |

Same size tanks in the cockpit as the engine room?
|
Great boat saw it run many times up here in the 1000 Island Poker Runs. Actually played dock hand once many years ago when owner was loading on trailer in Gananoque , Ontario at the TI Run. In the day that boat was one nasty sombiotch.
|
Yes all the tanks are the same size 75 Gallons we are removing the engine room tanks because we don't need 450 gallon capacity 300 will be fine! the boat had 6 fuel tanks
|
Wow, 150 per engine. Were the other two tanks further forward?
|
2 on either side of the cockpit and 2 just forward of the dash bulkhead
|
Looking Sweet Dan. That is a really cool old boat.
|

You are doing the front bulkhead with many pieces?
|
Two pieces split down the middle we left the original skin from the bulkhead on the frontside for strength and notched around the new stringers to give them support.
|
Cool build, impressive progress in such little time
|
|
Finally finished laying glass in the engine compartment. now the out side of the transom. and the we can start to put it back together. 12 gallons of Vinalester and about 30 yards of 1708 later
