Sheldon, I sent you a PM.
As far as that long thing goes, I have no idea what it is.

This has been a fun thread, thanks for starting it.
What is that next to that hull? I have no idea Mikey.
My other brother that does not post here wanted to build it. Go figure.
I figure that if it has wheels, it better be 125" from the rear wheels to the front wheels.
If it does not have wheels, the bottom needs to look like this;

Will please post photos of your gas tank brackets.
Thanks
Slow
I don't have any other pics of them off hand, just something I designed and we built, nothing incredible there.
I was looking for something other than those vinyl dipped brackets.
What did you use to secure the tank to the bracket?

What the hell is that long skinny thing with wheels ????
Well Mikey,
Here's the deal, I have three sons but many only know Buzzz and Paul. Dave is between the two of them and he hadn't licensed to drive the 1/4 mile in the short cars so I bought a Spitzer roller that he and I built. He's now licensed in it. The process of building was way more fun than running the thing however for this dad raising sons. Here's Dave's car.

Now, the best part is that Buzzz and Paul also have another long car they are working on (among 1000 other projects.) Here it is:

Sorry for the derailment. I now return you to your regularly scheduled boat picture show.

Well you can kinda see along the top of the bracket where it matches the radius of the tank there is like a one inch wide lip that has an edge on it and the tanks are held down with sst hose clamps that ride on the lip and the edge is intentended to keep the hose clamps from sliding off to the front or back.

BA Kurtis. Your new boat looks awesome. Only one change I would make-polished 5 spokes on the trailer. Some chrome Cragar SS or some polished AM racing torq thrust II's would finish off the trailer nice.
Thanks, those are the wheels that came on the trailer and thay will have to do for now
