[QUOTE="SVOMike86, post: 119153, member: 2070"] So we beat the sun going down tonight, and took a couple pics of the boat. This pic is basically the main structure of my deck supports. I borrowed the idea for the front deck from the Olive Drab Floater. Although I dont have a ton of experience with boats, I think thats probably the most efficient setup for convenience and practicality. There will be other braces put in as its welded, to go port and starboard from the about half way up the front for more support and for ledges for the hatches. The rear is basically just gonna be boxed in with two braces going across, two going down for each of those, and three going from front to back.[ATTACH type="full" alt="top of boat, deck supports.jpg"]10184._xfImport[/ATTACH] This pic is roughly what the sponsons will look like once they are welded to the sides of the boat, obviously no gaps... I need to get some measurements, and I will hopefully be able to figure out exactly how much floatation these things are gonna add.[ATTACH type="full" alt="complete side view, with sponsons.jpg"]10185._xfImport[/ATTACH] Next question is, with the sponson on the side, it doesnt leave me room to drill a hole in the side for my livewell overflow... Can the standpipe in the livewell be used as an overflow, or will it not let enough water out?? I dont think the standpipe is any bigger than 3/4" of an inch, but I could be wrong. Thanks for all the info guys... [/QUOTE]
