Re: What size gas tank?
So I should run the same ethanol free gas I use in my snowmobiles for the outboard whenever possible? Thanks again for the help I am a pretty good woodworker but not so much on mechanicsBill Edmundson wrote:Ethenol 10 % is the same reference. A stabilizer will help. But, it is something to consider.

I am trying to get the center console design done so that I can order my plywood and cannot decide between a 12 Gal 20" x 14" x 11.75 or a 19 Gal 26" x 16" x 11.75."

Re: Rough Sawn Lumber
Besides not having that "finished" appearance, my experience with rough sawn lumber is that is has ripples, saw marks, that do not offer a smooth glue-up surface. Doublers, strengthening members, are typically laminated at the frame joints. It seems that this requires respectable flat-ness of the m...
