best boat is one that is together, running, and u dont give a **** about lol like my old mako and whaler

pasted the transom in today and laminated my gunnel supports. the transom has dried allready and looks to be in there nice and tight. had a decent oozing action going and i used the full width transom plate that was on the boat when i bought it to keep the skin level. with any luck i wont have any voids and when i pop the braces off it will be ready to be pasted and tabbed in!

lookin good!

decided to leave class early and come home to get some work done. the transom is pasted and tabbed in, i just have to lay some more tabbing on the top section of the transom. i also got an early christmas present to myself in the mail on monday so i had to give them a test fit =)

Test fit the guages, i am unsure on what to do with the dash as of now. original plan was to reconfigure the dash but after seeing them set up like this i think they may be staying factory looking. have a while before i have to make a full decision. gonna need to order one more gauge if i keep them like this

Looking good!

I have always wanted to restore one of these. When I sell my paramount I will be in the market for 21 superboat, shadow, challenger unless I can find a skater

I have a few here that I could use, none would work as well as the one you are doing for me though!

was really busy with finals and then i was sick in bed most of this week so progress has been a little slow. I got the new tank back from the welder and i got my knees/stringers cut. gunnel/side supports are glassed in and today i finished tabbing the top of the transom and starting grinding and filling some holes. got a nice new camera for xmas but didnt take any shots of today due to the lovely blizzard we are having

Looks great! Nice big tank!!

Where should the fill be on this style of boat? The vent is in the front. Mine and every other 21 is like this I believe.

there really is no other place to put the fill on this tank and still allow it to be accessible, the floor is getting glassed over the tank. i always fill the boat on a trailer somewhat level so im not losing that much capacity and even so as vnemous said the front of the tank is vented and shouldnt create an air pocket
