I may have been guilty of over engineering on my first design, since once I started digging into it I think I may be able to accomplish most of my design goals with this smaller design. <\/p>\n<p>I am testing using an external tank with this design, but down graded the tanks size since the hull will be much smaller. I don\u2019t have the printed hatch seat shown in this design though. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Shol_P2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Shol_P2.jpg\" alt=\"Shol_P2\" width=\"1715\" height=\"1512\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1957\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Heading into the holidays.
