Major bro, well done!!! How many liters it hold? I have a P38 here in Tauranga, New Zealand and don't have one installed. Have you done the re-enforcement of the starboard shroud? Maia is looking great!!! Fair winds...

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

heyyy, finally a fellow owner, fantastic... It's a small tank, 50 litres, the only size that would fit in there. As to the shroud, I have not removed anything of structural concern and do not think it would need any reinforcement with that size tank. However, I am not an expert so if you feel otherwise, ,any input would be appreciated

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 P38 family 😁 The re-enforcement is not related to the holdtank. Does yours have a starboard berth up behind the seat? If it does most likely your starboard shroud in fixef only using the deck and should be re-enforced. If get yourself in heavy weather it might come off and you loose the rig. I know two p38s that that happened! Cheers

[@searchingforcoconuts2248]

@@alexovnz thanks for the info... we do not have a starboard berth there and our chain plates are fitted well below. Thanks for the heads-up, much appreciated

[@alexovnz]

hey, hope all going well!!! Would you mind sending the info on the tank you bought, like brand, dimensions? Thanks and fair winds...
