    Will leave the safetyfloat out since i go for snort, hopefully it will compensate the extra conduit, if not, then the boat is loaded to the rim for going on warpatrol.

    As the length of the tank -- hence, the length of the conduit -- is short, and I'm assuming its dimeter will be no greater than 3/8", then it'll be an equal trade-off of volume between the removed safety float-valve and installed conduit. You're Golden!

      How about an external connection? I remember seeing a WTC in one of the threads here showing external power cables connected to studs coming out the sides of the ballast tank bulkheads.

      I have a customer who got a hold of one of Skip's old Albacore kits. Does anyone happen to have a scan of the instructions I could pass along to him?

        An option, but not on this little model: the annular space between WTC and hull is so tight as to make that effort a waste of time.
