[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 297224, member: 10344"] [i]Good morning, I was able to get a couple things done over the weekend. I decided to make a floor pan for the fuel tank; I just didn’t want it resting on top of the ribs. I ran a couple of small rigging tubes for the livewell, bilge pump and stern light wiring. I needed to do that now before the floor pan went down. I set the fuel tank up so that it has a slight backwards tilt when the boat is level. The fuel pick up is at the back of the tank, not that I’m ever going to run the tank that low but S happens. I’ve got most of the rear deck extension completed just have to add cross supports and cover the top and front with aluminum. The front of the rear deck is rolled so it was a pain in the butt to get the extension to line up right but I got it. The height will be the same, there will be a little gab but I will fill that in with something before I put the sea decking on. I backed up the 2x2 that I bolted to the bench with a 5 inch piece of 0.125 aluminum to strengthen the bench so it wouldn’t flex when someone is standing on the deck extension. I left just enough room at the top so the aluminum that goes on will come off level with the rear deck. [/i] [/QUOTE]
