[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 512105, member: 32426"] I did run into one glitch. The ribs that I had intended to follow to upper deck were not symmetrical. In fact the entire hull has a significant twist. If I would have caught this last year I would have returned the boat. I guess this is just post covid quality control. Anyway, I had to remove one of the supports so the vertical transition to the upper deck could be pushed back a few inches. This had the side benefit of allowing more space for a “real” gas tank not the huge space wasting plastic portable. I got most of it with the sawzaw. No room for the grinder and cutting wheel either. The last bit was the hard way. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1827.jpeg"]119560[/ATTACH] Here’s the 5 gallon tank that I ordered. I’ll weld handles on it call it portable in case anyone gives me grief about it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4456.png"]119561[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
