    you need to keep the weight low in the boat! guys don't spend all that money on 15" mid to clear a ski rope,it's all about handling! I really think you should find a cube tank, I think that wide tank will give you pickup issues when low on fuel and weight shifting issues when trying to run on the pad!my.02 for what that's worth!

    I ditched the idea of mounting the fuel tank up. And will have it flat on the floor.

    Im raising the transom 3" and made the very top 20" wide then tapered it down to the original hull to try and match the natural Piphorn body line .

    Added a 3rd layer to the transom with in FRONT of the original transom side flange to help with a bit more strength.

    Got the rest of the core and stringers out today. The stringers were on the hull. Not the top of the core.

    Spent a couple of hours today ripping out the rest of the core under the bow. I was really wanting to only do the core from the seats and back but figured id better do it all and not regret it later. So under the bow I went .

    Got to work on the Viking for a while today and hand sanded the pad area with 36 grit and cut the balsa wood to fit inside the pad area. I layed the scrimmed balsa over a barrel to open up all the gaps and applied resin and another coat after it soaked in and layed all of it into thickened resin onto the pad area..hope I got enough weigbt on the board pressing down the soaked balsa wood.

    How far apart should I set the stringers? All the way to the edge of the pad core? 1/2" in? Or where?

    looking good man....moving right along.

    l set my stringers top of core against edge of pad. i wouldnt want to move em in any....that would just create a valley you'd have to fill or try and glass in later. against edge makes transition from stringer to floor alot simpler
