new tank and steering

[phester]

sounds like alot Lumber. Twelve hours, at say, conservatively, 75.00 per hour is like 900.00 labor alone. You're a handy guy Ken and you've got skills, I'd try that one myself before subbing it out. I don't know what is involved to swap over to hydraulic steering. What's up with you original tank?

Phes, I would attempt to do it myself BUT I dont have a garage to do it in. for one and I dont really have the time for two. and would really like to have all done come april so all i have to do is put the boat in the water.


as for whats wrong with the old one is the top around the vent is corroded and iam getting a wiff of fumes in the bilge when the tanks 3/4 to full

Ok, I have a plan to save you the labor money.

First, buy an empty lot.

Build a 10000 sq. ft. building on it.

Do the work yourself cause you have extra time now that the wife has kicked you out of the house.

There, you saved $900.

That is if your Wife doesn't take half the boat. After she kicks you out
