Nice work so far! I have a similar project that's been sitting in the yard for 2 years.

Nice start! While you are there, take a close look at the ribs in the boat. They are know for cracking. I have a Tracker project boat myself. KRS

Thanks Jim!!!! I still get a little confused on the youtube links. Kris

I recorded my installation of the removing 2 portable fuel tanks with selector switch with a slightly larger capacity single/permanent fuel tank. Hope this helps with any that wants to do the same. KRS sfExdcY1cSk g7p-7pbTq2A QYimLD1stUE

I would email it in to them and ask if they can identify which one was done at their factory. (I think they will know which one since you are sending it to them!) Anyway, I can't imagine that they are okay with that quality and understand that it is going out the door like that. KRS

My bet (hope) is that you get it back and there will be no charge. Good luck with it. If I was in charge there, you would be getting a new hull. That said, I can see their perspective (the business side of it.) Just like anything else, I am sure there are tons of people out there that...

I know your job is done, but wanted to post for any future searchers. I saw a guy do this successfully with his jig or sabre saw. I just hope I remember it when it comes time to work on my project boat! KRS

Just in case you would like to see what the pattern looks like. Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA4LfmjjQFg KRS

PS -if you do it, don't destroy the wood as you take it out. That can be handy as a template.

Mine is the same way. There are a few guys on here that have done it and posted pics. Not a quick or easy job, but something you could get through if you are handy. (If you don't have a welder you would have to hire someone. I don't think that would cost too much though.) KRS

Hi Wyatt - No progress yet. I am in FL and its too hot right now. I am targeting the fall. KRS

Wow, coming along nicely! My boat is is actually missing the front plate altogether. Did your buddy cut that plate for you? What did he/you use to cut it? KRS

What about that jack plate?? Is that at a different angle than the hull? KRS

Here is a video of the boat as I received it: nY9uKK9CsW4

I am starting to get to work on this boat. With my schedule, I know it will take a long time to finish, but expect to get some solid gains on her this fall. I have one of the front ribs half drilled out and will do the rest shortly. (It actually doesn't take too long considering...) Anyway...
