well got all the holes drilled and the bulkheads installed. main tube is glued on and routed out, also got the becket foam tubes made (well 1/2 made anyways)



ignore the small tube ontop.. was just using a chunk of dirty 4" to get a feel for the hight. I will be using 6" for the actual riser.

to provide stability (water is going to be up the main colume a ways) and also to allow enuf room to ensure I can prevent bubble from getting out.
