3" rigging tubes. (Factory stringers are off by as much as 2" side to side which made it a pain to get em "symmetrical")

Floating oil tank base. Sloped a tad to shed water...

Still figuring out fuel tank...

You may want to consider electrical sweeps instead of the elbow 90's !

Unless you are using all fly by wire controls etc..

Just my 2¢ worth !

Nice job you are doing for sure...

I just came across this thread. Looks like nice clean glass work and a quality build.

Thanks guys.

Pic kinda makes the elbows look squatty, theyre streets. My homie depot doesnt carry 3" gray stuff for whatever reason? Shouldnt phase teleflex extremes... not a fan of the tactile-ness ( or lack of) on the electronic stuff just yet

Console is just a jig for the one i will build. Pretty close to the 18'er console but with a few tweaks. Mainly a bigger flat between helm panel and electronics face to fit beers! And an extension on the sides with a flat for rod holders, fuel/water fills, and a place to put feet when stting on leaning post
