Thanks for the encouragement Vance. It's especially appreciated coming from
you. I didn't get the drift on the ''inverted stand pipe''. Are you saying to
put the pipe on the open hole at the bottom of the tank, projecting into the
tank 6 inches, or hanging down from the bottom of the tank? I was planning on
just a round hole at the low point, with a shaped cover that would prevent water
from being forced into the tank when motoring on the surface. The shape of the
tanks will be fairly easy to do in stainless sheet, and will fit closely to the
FRP body, which will have plenty of room/gaps for the water to escape when
blowing the tanks. It's the FRP body that has slowed me down. It's more of a
''sculpture'' than a fabrication at this point.
Do you live in Florida? I'd like to visit Daytona this year, and thought
maybe I could drive down and take you out for lunch. Frank
