Right, 42 gall too big, so thats good to know that means I have more than enough room to build whatever tank, probably be around 30 gallons thanks for that info. I just referenced the factory tank and its 20 gallons which I thought was a bit too small. My Valero tank was considerably bigger ( ten year newer boat ) id guess it was in the 30 range I never did measure or check it but it was a great rig for cruising long hauls especially with the small carb 135 that thing went some distance on a tank.
Tank aside thats a solid tip re the beam across the transom tying into the knees I like that idea, almost like an i-beam. I think if we do that then we would be more than covered on strength.
For the floor we are using 1/2 coosa and I was planning to cover both sides with 1208 before core bonding it down. Does that pass the sniff test?Hydrostream dreamin

One more quick question; Scarf joint bonding the coosa? We are doing a 8:1 scarf and regarding bonding them we were thinking one of two approaches; coat both pieces with vinyester and use one piece of CSM in between? Or just a straight vinylester bond with no CSM?

Just need some 1.5 oz mat under the floor to seal the penske. 1.5 oz Mat on top of the floor with 1 8'' wide layer of 1708 around the perimeter covered in 1.5 oz torn mat for tailing. . This is how my floor is made. And use some mat in the scarf.

I'm also going to parrot the other two and say 42 is huge. Doing the geometry on my tank after I finished it came out at just shy of 23gal. First trip to the fuel pump I was able to get 21 in it. Most times I fill from the pump directly into the tank with the gauge close to E I'm able to get 15-18gal into it. Bring along a few VP Racing "Utility Jugs" if you want to ride longer.
Edit: I forgot to mention, when my tank is filled to the top and I stand in the back of the boat the rub rail is in the water.'78 Hydrostream Viking/'98 225 ProMax

Yeah my last Vking was a tail dragger when the tank was full too. I'll aim for around 30 gallons.
Back to stringers the scarf joints worked out perfectly. We did some hardy twisting and these things are bonded so well I believe these joints are as strong as the board itself. What a relief. Today we managed to fit up the two outside stringers and that was it. We worked the gap to about 1/8th of an inch which looks good to me. The pic of the stringer is sitting loose not in exact position but you get the idea. Many things happening for the next week so not much is going to happen until next week we will put another push into this. We have a plan laid out which helps.

Is that where your original floor was placed? Mine was and is the next strake up. Makes no difference, just curious.

I believe so but I bought this hull stripped bare so I don’t know for sure. I think it’s just the angle of the pic and the double 5/8” core in the pad plus high wrapped up core on the sides that’s making it look different. The floor is 42”W x 8’L

His must be wrong probably wont ride right.. lol whos..
I annoyed a few people when i did my 380 lazer we lifted the floor up a few inches and changed some because want to make it like a tank but as light as possible
Because would run it in ruff water going out the inlet etc..
But dtill wanted ot as fast as fricken possible and it was..
(Actually even myself a little when it was done didn't realize how much a few inches was untill i tried to go under the deck to do something lol..)LETS GO BRANDON.... LETS GO BRANDON
Sometimes I talk to myself...then we both just laugh and laugh

I only asked because I have seen so many variations over the years on all of the streams. It makes no difference like I said before. Might be better....

All good, and something to think about for sure. My last vking had a floor the same config as this so did my Valero. I never really thought to look at others for differences in the floor. If I take the floor up a strake it would bed in where my outside stringers go. Might be stronger especially if I wrapped core up to it. The radius’d part of the hull between the core/floor and outside stringers is just glass. I do have whatever factory glass is there plus two additional layers of 1708 over it because there was a couple holes where the floor removal got a bit aggressive I guess so I added some 9” wide strips there at the beginning of the build and then the full edge to edge lays over the core.

Only real difference is how hi you sit in the boat. You can see my big head above the w/s quite a ways. I also have a v shaped floor in the front sump floor area. I added that. Was open before and it always felt uncomfortable. I sit with my legs and rt. foot at the perfect angle for the foot throttle now. And can brace with my left foot.
