I would just shift divers around if you need to control pitch side to side roll, and save the $ for fuel.

Removed the starboard scupper to trial fit a trim tab, it is do-able, but I have some metal fab to do on the transom plate portion of the hinge. Getting rained out now and I am soaked. Time to get the fire roaring and watch the Patriots beat the 49'ers.;)

Re fab'ed the Stainless trim hinge to work with the elephant trunk scupper port housing. The transom is 2'' thick so a have room for long screws. I'll seal them with 3M 5200 after X-Mass. I was concerned the trim ram would interfere with the scupper trunk but it just bends past it. I don't want to block the water out flow when I sitting in the deep green room.:@

Soon to be in the ''Big green room''.;)

Finished fab of the other trim tab/scupper assembly yesterday before the rain, today I'll work inside.
The silver bits are parts of the floor I will be integrating to support the radar arch and console unit.Cheers, Don

It sure is coming together. Can't wait to see pictures of it with some fresh fish on deck.

Aye, and there will be no shore line in the background.;) and with two week delay.
I still need to get my 18 gal composite bow V shaped fuel tank so I can stay away from the Avalon fuel dock.

My last two gauges (volts and temp) have been shipped, these Mil spec bits are for the solar panel. The plan is to T-top it from the radar arch to the windscreen support rails, which are just a rough sketch at this point.

The old boat came from my friend who lives near here. As my son and I sat on a rock near this worldly transitional spot, I meditated on how great it is to be alive, have the warmth of the sun on your face and the love of your boy in your heart.

Here is the other side of the road. Dillon said listen....you can't here a sound.We were there for a hr and nothing flew over or drove by. It was hot though.(112 degrees @ 8am.)

Bow tank and line locker will look close to this, the bottom will house a Moller 19 gal polyethylene tank, 111lbs of fuel froward will balance the deck more.
The wear patches are a great addition on a work boat that I may add at a later date.
Cheers, Don
