Interesting project. Have you had to re-configure the trailer at all to adjust the tongue weight on the hitch?
my next (last) project boat

Don't think I need to, really not that much tongue weight. Just need a raised hitch

Looking really good. Is it coming home this weekend or going to get the motor rigged?

Just back from Sooke with the boat. I think I've had 5 pod's built and this one is the best looking one I've had done,the welds are nice and the aluminum plate is almost twice as thick as my last one. Total cost with him hanging the motor was $2600. If anyone is looking to get a pod built I'll give you his number

Fascinating - guess the next step is rigging? and then what will you do to make the hull look good? or will you do the interior first??

How many gallons did you go with?

I haven't figured it out. 30" wide, 11" deep, 75" long. The bottom has a small taper to fit the hull, That was the biggest I could go.

So about 100us gallons if the calculation is correct. 83 imperial gallons

I come up with different numbers then FA but same as Spring, all fairly close tho
Tank capacity = LxWxH = cubic volume X 7.48 gallons per cubic foot of space = the tank capacity
30x11x75=24,750/1728=14.3229167x7.48=107.135 us gal or 89 imp gal
but then the taper changes it all
