Sanding the first coat of Gel Coat looks great but I am going to apply a final coat of Gel and Duratec after this is completed.

Lots of sanding dust still on it, my bad I did not wipe it off before these pictures were taken
Remove the old aluminum tanks (not shown) lo and behold full of holes. This is the replacement tank

Notice the cut in the deck? I will gel back in just like I did on the Transom when I remove the skin..
Replacing with a Tank I brought from Craigslist for thirty bucks of course it’s about two inches long, I cut a desk to insert it an will re-gel it back in.
I did notice the fuel feed is towards the bow, so I can only go ¼ tank of fuel if not I stall getting up on a plane?
