Stormed like hell but i did what I could do.....made starboard dash and turned out great. In laws in town this weekend sooo......got a good lesson in wire soldering, all new wires to run soldered, heat shrinked and ready to pull. Went ot Kilkenny Marina to pull the tank. Guys were great! I drilled to holes and hooked safety chain connected with a shackle to the tank. Backed in, hooked up to the hoist and it peeled out like a bannana.......after it lifted the V20 off the trailer 2 feet for about 2 seconds. Great show for the bystanders! Cleaned out tank hole and 5200 the 2x4's to the glass then to the tank....don't know if it will hold, need advice on the re-mount. Ran new fuel hoses and will finish connections tomorrow. Pretty tired.....keep having weird dreams of a fish chasing me with battery cables and a jar of bread and butter pickles...Jessica Alba was there too, naked holding a quart of fuel stabilizer?????????? Oh well....the progress continues.

I didnt think I could get it(GPS) in right if flushmounted plus I like to take it off and carry it with me. I can't find any holes in it, but there is some major corrosion. Anybody want it???? Free to a good home.....free until I decide to clean it up, paint it and sell.

I used the 1/4 starboard but now I'm scared it may be to thin causing vibration....it is sturdy but I'll have to see when I mount it and run it.

Here's the thread from when my alter ego replaced my tank.
I used "Great Stuff" foam to cradle the new tank and strapped it down with ratchet tiedowns. I was careful to leave room for water to drain/dry if any gets in there. So far it has worked fine. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...oater+gas+tank
