[Rhodes22-list] Project boats and technical questions/ FOAM

[Lou Rosenberg]

Ed,

I have just replaced the top of my (fwd) foam cover , and I can say 
without doubt that my fwd foam goes right to the hull on the bottom. 
There is NO plywood under the foam.  I would say the same thing about 
my cockpit foam in my boat as I cannot see any wood under it from the 
cabin side where its fwd edge is visible.  I do intend to cover that 
cabin side with a formica laminate soon, as its really ugly but not 
too noticeable.

   Some one had made a tank cradle  for the orig  25 gal ? tank, 
which I will use for my new 10gal Triton tank I received on Friday.

  I will post  pictures and details of this tank very soon,  possibly 
tonight to the list.
  The tank only cost $92.14 with shipping and adding a 3" clean out 
port with a gasket on the top side.   So far I am really happy about 
my new water tank.
  I am in the process of finishing up my new floor boards and 
replacing my settee.  Then will be allocating space for my battery 
under the companionway (port side) .
  After that its back to installing the remaining portlights waiting 
in my basement then the wiring and panel installation.
