Sorting out fuel tank position and bedding the last of the floor bearers in the hull and patterning up for side benches in aft end of the boat

Sorting out the fuel tank position in the bow. The locker was the original bow seat which will now be the base for the fuel tank. There should be enough fall to the injector pump on the engine for the engine to be gravity fed. 


Once it is braced in position, then a deck beam will be made and a small foredeck will be fitted to cover the fuel tank and for the filler to be fitted.



The last of the floor bearers to be bedded on to the hull and then fibreglassed into position. The floor bearer behind this floor bearer will be fixed to the aft bulkhead


The spline curved into position to pattern up the shape of the top of the locker / seat and give an impression of the size and shape it needs to be 


A photo of the shape looking aft showing it is going to be a good size for a seat and a locker for storing fenders and warps


The old floor boards cut to a size which will be large enough to fit the engine in its final position when it is bolted in position
