Paul-
The keel stinger was already removed when we got the hull. There is a hole on the keel (directly below where the stinger was), not sure if that is why the stinger was removed or if it was a result of the demo. We plan on our laying some glass down and adding a PVC stinger/drain on the keel. Looks like a good project would like to see some updates.

Got a little work done a few weeks ago... Closed the stringers up with marine ply held on place with CSC. Then we fabbed up some marine ply to raise the stringers. Bedded them in poly/cabosil putty. Filled the seam between the existing stringer and riser with poly/cabosil/milled fiber putty along with any other voids. Glassed it all in with multiple layers of CSC and 1708. We also got the old bilge hole patched from the inside.
We have been trying to do all wet layups, seems well worth the long days in order to grind as little as possible.

Can anyone recommend a tank builder? Was trying to use SP Tanks out of New Jersey but apparently their custom tank operation indefinitely closed last week.
Would prefer a builder from the NE but would consider shipping from Florida. Trying to get prepared for the spring.

I believe that there are two aluminum fabricators up there. One has two names, like SP/Speedy Tanks. Almost used him once. IIRC, the other was in Bayville, Route 9.?. Been a long time. Sunshine, and RDS Aluminum if you can draw what you want (not being local).
RDS has built between 8 and 10 Jersey Speed Skiffs, including my brothers. A custom 18 gal. under rear thwart of a BW 15 Sport. I believe Sunshine may have specs to early SeaCrafts. Vezo, Part II

Thanks for the input. Turns out the place with two names is Atlantic Coastal Weldnig/Speedy tanks. I have quotes out to Speedys and Patriot Marine Fabrication in New jersey. Waiting on a quote from Luther's.
Cheers

Does my mind still remember they are in Bayville, NJ? I was recently taken over a 70 gallon build. Paid $1284. The $84 was Fla. Sales tax when I don’t live there. Tariffs on metal or not, the old adage “$10/gallon” still rings true. Interested in your quotes. Mine was constructed of .125 aluminum, three baffles, fill, pick up, vent and sending unit. Coal tar epoxied. Let us know.

Vez- haven't been on on a while. Yes they are in Bayville, there are actually a couple companies around Barnegat Bay, all the NJ guys quoted around $750. I walked out of Speedy's for around $850 for a 52gal tank with couple extra items for installing. Not cheap! The Rhode Island outfit seemed very knowledgeable but the quote started at 850 and they do not epoxy coat.
