Actually, Matt, your tank was number 3 :-) I just havn't paddled the trident in months. Rockin the X-Factor for the bugs

My tank has been sitting out back for a few weeks and I noticed the vinyl glue on the outside of the tank yellowed pretty good. But I was pretty messy with it. I think I made CJ's tank a little neater and I also havn't noticed any major yellow stains on his. The tank is holding together pretty awesome though. And even if the sun exposed glue "comes apart", the inside of your tank is out of sunlight and will keep youor tank together and leak free. The cool thing is the tanks neatness is more important that its unleakability because if a corner drips a little bit, your a little safer than the internal version obviously.

Hey matt, the wiring looks really good on your boat, who did it?

Some slack jaw, hillbilly, teenager who has only ever caught one fish in LJ with a cute mom wired it for me

Nice job Brett, the tank hasn't had an issue yet!!

Just because of his post on my Classifieds post....

Id like to point out it wasn't even a real fish, it was a shark.

That is all

Cj-That looks pretty sweet! Do you think that it is possible to do a through scupper hole intake to clean it up so that you don't have to hang it off the side? I'm getting my new trident soon and I might be interested in a set up like that. I really like the way Matt has his flushmounts, it makes the boat look really sleek!

Matt,

A through scupper might be tough however My boat is plumbed with the pump inside the boat. The intake hose simply threads onto a Washdown fitting. Works very well. No priming, minimal setup, and very sleek.

But if you dont want a hole in the bottom of your boat we could figure something out. Would probably be similar to how the Hobie tank is plumbed. Only problem is the location of the scuppers on the Trident. Ill start drawing out some ideas and playing around with it.

Oh an I am totally taking the full credit for the Flushmount set up. He copied me.
