You WILL get better results. You will not be running the Stem Winding Crap out of it.... THAT will improve everything. A 150 on a 21ft boat like "that" is WAY under powered.

Most are custom built by a tower shop. In fact I'm SURE Parker does not build them...They are farmed out to a tower shop then sold thru Parker.

I hear ya.... With my newest boat..... I did a trailer tongue extension.... New and reinforced tongue.... 2ft longer.... keeps the truck from getting wet.

Your limited on the manufactures of those. Only a few from what I've seen in the past. You must be up North. We run Bunk trailers down South and drive the boat on the trailer.

A/C , Rocket launcher on Top , Spreader cockpit lights are in the Option page.... I would Not consider them options. Your in Fl. Same as me.

Then you use a Bow Saw blade... One end covered with cardboard and Duct tape.

I've used electric chainsaw to remove the foam around the tank.

What jpg1969 said Yep :) I do know of shops that stop 1/8in @ 40gal... Then step up to 3/16. A 3/8in alum tank is one HEAVY FoFo.... without fuel in it. I'm Sure you are mistaken.

You mean 3/16" Been doing That for 30+ years. [Coating] That's BS. The Reason it's not done is it adds to cost... Boat manufactures don't worry about it because when it's Out of warranty...Their hands are Clean.

I for one...Would not have a notched transom, for the reason you mention. Modifying the transom and adding a Bracket with flotation tub will get expensive. FYI: "Gill Bracket" That was a manufacture that made a metal tube engine bracket. It had No flotation to offset moving the weight aft...

Do what I said..... Document it. It will last forever and with the documentation [pix's] it will be a selling aid. The fiberglassing over the foam, bridging between the coffin and tank top is the key to keeping water out of the foam.

Not exactly.. Alum needs air to make it's self protect skin....The absence of air mixed with water is what causes corrosion. The trick is Keep the water away. The 4lb density foam locks the tank into the boat. 200gal of fuel weighs 1300lbs..... A slamming hull and 6lag bolts are Not going...

WAY Underpowered! Just because you HAVE all the Power of a 300...doesn't mean You have to use it. Furthermore... Having that power means you will not run the stem winding Crap out of it all the time.... This results in Better fuel milage with the higher HP engine. I bet your running what...

What "I" see from experience. The curved pipe in the side "looks " good....but it's in the wrong place.... To hard to crawl under to get inside. Lay down as apposed to fold front are easier to set up. Needs double tubes for strength. These things take serious abuse when pounding waves. And...

Hit the Magnifying Glass SEARCH and type your question.... Ton's of info on this subject.

JUST like taking detailed pix's of paint.... They never show well.... Hard to tell a Lot from your pix's.... Some water sanding with a DA.....[1000,2000 & 3000gt] Then Buffing.....Then Polishing.

Saltwater up under your truck will cost a LOT more.

Weld Mounts -...

I sorta had that problem.... IE: I don't want any part of the truck getting wet. I scaled the tounge weight... Gave the numbers to my brother [mechanical engineer] Bought a new piece of 3in Square alum tubing and we reinforced it where the stress's would be greater. [ 1/4 x 3 x 18in ] alum flat...
