    George,

    I don't have that one. I would like to add it to my collection though.
    Bert found this one in his book pile. It's by Uffa Fox and it is pretty good.

    Wow , the ingenuity of some people ! A 22C setup for comfortable over nighting even in adverse weather AND capable of reeling in those big sailfish .

    At last , a truly practical Donzi classic
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !

    I don't know why, but I find myself trying to figure out what was done to this 22..... I hope that bucket seat bracket over the engine hatch is just for holding the front seats while the cabin enclosure is in use.?. because it doesn't appear to have any strength to it. And what's that thing next to the D in the middle of the topside??? a swim ladder bracket?

Bringing it to 60 gallons is very little increase it should be 55 as it stands, I can run 95 in mine. I run the 40 gallon aft tank exclusively except on long trips or up at 1k as it makes the boat porpoise using the front tank, I would lose the floor locker and extend it aft 18" to 24" the will kick it up nicely. I find the 40 is fine for local, I can get over 100 miles out of it at a reasonably fast cruise then just switch to the front which I keep a few get home gallons in!

    I plan on doing two tanks (if the one new larger is too expensive) as well....can you share some details on how you mechanically accomplished it? One tube split into two tanks, or a valve between them?

    But if you follow what I'm doing, you'll get the gist of it, w/some differences.
    For instance, Donzi calls for and supplies long thin pieces of foam to core the built up radius on the inside stringer bases, I'll do that manually w/polyester putty. There'll be a step or two I'll leave out because my stringers are closer together than the newer boats.
    But this first step is right out of the procedure, glassing in a strip of 24 Oz. Knytex (double diagonal stitchmat, Donzi calls for at least 17 Oz.) between the stringers.
    Donzi doesn't call for any strengthening of the areas outside the stringers, but I'll be glassing in fairly wide strips in those areas.
    Afterwards, I'll be filling in the radii at the stringer bases and building up glass above them.

    Can you call out the putty you used in the reference above?

    Since the last post I have had the opportunity to lay in the port outboard bottom reinforcement and also one layer of reinforcement on both transom sides.

    If I understand correctly what you did, you have three sheet of 24 laid in the floor of the hull (lapping up on each stringer), so four general sections. In this view, you carried it up the transom....is that the last of three layers, or all three?

    Yes, thickened polyester putty, you can obtain it at Merton's and other suppliers.
    You can add fillers, like milled fiber, or glass strands. It gets pretty thick and hard
    to work, but stronger.
