No,It's an 18gal. aluminum stuffed in the port side stern and I do mean stuffed,just enough room to slide the door shut!

Flatsider you've done a wonderful job on the rig, I am very impressed.

I like the way you did the removable bow section, and the cushions around the gunwales. I'd like to do the same on my SS.

The motor sure looks new Thanks for posting, enjoy the boat!

Very nice job. Now you have a brand new boat that should last another 30 years. Congrads!!!!! Whats next? I think a Chieftain would look good in that yard too.

Great looking SS, and a great job on the restoration, it looks like it started out a basket case. But better than new now.

That looks great! I like the front deck and the trolling motor mount....very clean look.

Many of us will be interested in how it performs with the 70.

Nice - you should reverse the slideshow - your SS probably lead the league in neglect prior to the rebuild!

Very nice work FS. Bet your going to miss working on her.
I don't believe I have ever seen a seat mount like you have on the bow..interesting.
Please don't forget to take videos for us that are still land locked. Congrats!!!

Wow, impressive it is. You did a really nice job on that boat. It looks very "clean" and crisp. You did the Nation proud my brother.

Nicely updated. Love the seating. Just in the process of sanding down my SS and this has given me motivation I needed. You did great job.

Re: 73 Super Sport 16ft.DONE!!

Absolutely fantastic work. I'm going to be stealing ideas from this one for sure. The bow deck is especially nice.

Looks great, only change I would make is concealing the piano hinges on the hatches.
