The tank in my 1975 Wriedt Maverick also started coming apart from the inside. Then the next thing I know it started leaking inside the boat. Just letting you know that's  probably  next. I ended up going with saddle tanks.

Sad to hear this shit! I guess I'm moving out of state just in time.

Thanks for your reply.. did you use a bottom paint for the below waterline portion, or top-side paint for everything?

Thanks

I used a single stage automotive paint that I got from tcp global. It came out pretty nice.

Welcome!

Bern supporters have no idea

Absolutely right about that!

On my 20' southwind I found it helped a lot of the side to side (dog tail wag) at slow speeds, as well as getting on the trailer. Other than that it was just there.

If one is worried about hitting the rudder, there is a greater issue there. The difference in rudder and hull is only a couple inches, in my onion id rather have the rudder there to hit then the hull or anything else for that matter...

I felt it helped my 19' Wriedt the same way. Getting it back on the trailer when there is a little wind is probably where I noticed it the most.

Awsome.  Thanks again Steve

Would you happen to have a picture handy so I could see your setup?

Those Schoenfelds look nice. I wonder if they will weld the flanges on upside down? I need the Stahl pattern so I cant just flip them. I like your boat and plan on going the ls route when this motor runs its course

I was wondering the same thing. Can I just flip them?

this one looks like it uses the bellhousing holes and the accessory holes on the heads.

Very nice. Congrats!

Thanks again
