Paul from NY recently inquired:

1) with the fuel tank sealed under the deck how do you deal with for example a leaky fitting or even know if it happens?

2) While I realize your design is bullet proof compared to most boats in it's class I wondered if you do manage to hole the hull will it remain afloat and driveable?

Thank you Paul for the question and allowing us to answer you here!

Answer 1) As you can see in the above photo we have a large Armstrong compression hatch over the "business" end of the fuel tank. This gives access to the fuel line, fuel fill, level sender and ventline. Any leaks and or problems would be located here and are easily accessible.

Answer 2) If you ever managed to make a hole in the bottom of the boat there is enough flotation that the boat will still float and you will be standing on a dry deck. The boat will be heavier but still operable.

Thank you for the question!
