Re: A little crazy?
Appears to be a beautiful, professional install. Question (too late, of course, but): may it be aft-heavy? How are you balancing it?

Re: A little crazy?
Joel, the fuel tanks went right up to the forward bulkhead, parallel to it. This helped a little, also I didn't replace the old 12 gallon water heater at this point. Replaced old rotten holding tank wit a smaller plastic one, mounted as far forward as I could.

Re: A little crazy?
Gusseting fitment before final engine install. They will be anchored with multiple 1/2" grade 8 bolts, only a few are showing during mock up.

Re: A little crazy?
Understand. One last question based on last set of pix. Bottom detail isn't clear... did you provide for weep holes between the little compartments that will be on the floor under the engines?
