As for why its removal. it was over 15 + years old and i didn't know how the PO had taken care of the boat. The aviator in me wanted a peace of mine, I want to zero time this boat as much as possible. so now i have nothing left in this boat, motors gone, wires removed, tanks out, all wood removed and ready to be sanded,and refinished, fuel lines out, bow rail off for cleaning and polishing. wire and cable ready to be picked up at west marine, and will start looking for a good deal on 60 gal fuel tanks. Again thanks everyone for your help and advice.

Jet, sounds like you're on the right course. Good luck with the rebuild and keep those photos coming. As previously stated, we love boat porn here.
Tight lines and clear skys.
