BUILDING THE ULTIMATE FISHING WEAPON: EP 4 Cabin Strip

[@davidgarland5286]

You'd have to worry about being top heavy wouldn't you mate

[@WaterboyzFishSurfSpear]

Yeh been thinking about that may have to pump from a tank below👍🏼

[@MichaelandMaryH]

Don’t want weight up top as has been said. If you want to save stuffing around welding a new tank have a look at those bladders. They do work well and you can get plenty of storage with them as they can be stuffed in all sorts of places. Having done the odd black tank in a boat. Full face respirator is a must.

Learning heaps myself watching this, cheers for sharing the rebuild. Stay safe, have fun! 👍🍻🚤

[@bradgardiner7335]

I'm enjoying this build but would like more information. Eg. Where did you buy the boat? Price? if you were misled by the previous owner? How many hours spent of your time? Cost of materials etc

[@shauntolomei2350]

Leave the fresh water tank under the hull mate and run a line to the back of the mullion that holds ya hard top if that makes sense and then fit a retractable hose/shower head to a flush fitting storage box if that makes sense? There will be too much weight on ya roof that will lead to cracking and other issues in the future. Looking good though man 👌🏼🍻

[@callanoakes]

Black tanks on the roof would get scolding hot bud, I'd have a tank somewhere inside maybe where all the pumps were or where the drain catch was for the inside shower. Run a line out with a pump that was you have a pressure shower and not just some dribble from the roof. It would also be worth having that same water feed maybe run through a water filter system so that you you have safe drinking water for longer trips.

Nice work. Your inline filter is a pressure accumulator tank for your water system. Good bit of kit, make sure you include one in your refit. You want to keep all your weight down as low as possible, water tanks under the deck are the best way to go. In the past I’ve used a 15 litre pressure weed sprayer from Bunnings painted black for a portable shower. Leave it on the deck of you want to have a nice warm shower at the end of the day.

Love the skill (and set of nuts) it takes to tske on a job like this, look forward to the next ep!

[@eastye]

Good project. Id suggest keeping the water tanks and weight down low in the hulls

[@strachancrang4319]

Putting the water tanks on the deck of the cabin will alter the stability. Keep the water storage low to keep the center of stability low. Have a deck shower.

[@JesseShakespeare]

I'd be careful of weight chucking 60kg on your roof (re: the water tanks). The sailfish have got a sturdy footprint but that'll still make it more top heavy than need be. Might be ok, but worth considering.

[@jonbeecroft4912]

there's a lot of 4x4 gear that will work on a boat, kickass have a shower tent that ive seen fitted between the two donks and the grey water just goes straight in the ocean, be aware of putting to much weight up high as the COG will change. i'd be leaving the weight of the water low in the boat, you could have a black tube up there that you fill to heat just before a shower or one of those gas hot water systems. you can probably get an electric one if you put lithium in the boat.

[@darcyforsyth2245]

Square flush stainless shower head at the back of hardtop roof, run off pressure pump.

[@dazzashannon2589]

Always low centre of gravity is the way to go

[@chriskirkwood6826]

As the above comments regards weight up high. Also looks like you are up north, black tanks = 3rd degree burns.

[@iainhetherington4608]

Are you sure you want to go to sea mate, you know dead fish and guts etc all over the place ,boat rocking etc. seems like you might do a lot of heaving Anyhow good luck ,I’m enjoying the vid regardless of the dry reaching hang in there Cheers from down south

[@WaterboyzFishSurfSpear]

Never been out to sea mate, what’s it like? 😜

[@CrazyhorseFishing]

lol someone else’s shitta gone septic/rancid is a totally different animal 💩🤮

[@dandeeg1982]

Bro you don’t want the extra weight or a slack tank on the roof especially traveling on a diagonal following sea.

[@michaelrichards2967]

Less weight up high

[@kevinkane5495]

Hurk….hurk….i was going in sympathy for you.

[@funcraig]

With the roof liner out I would look at mounting the water tanks and pumps in the below deck location and mount the shower head on the deck inset like the Bluecat 30 has done kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqLKenZrhspse7csi=R-wcI0yAXHETAyNR
