I did use 15 gallons, I did spill about 2 gallons via a damm hole I never saw. Thats a very good price you are getting it for, As for the government sending us money the math is simple they will send you 40 you will have to return 100 ..

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?

Damm very good point, however I have since cut both new hoses to length, I guess I will have to eat the lost and buy new hoses..

here's an idea, why not make a replacement pickup for the existing location that goes all the way to the back? Use aluminum tubing, remove the existing pickup, replace it with a new long one that goes to the back corner. Shouldn't be much difference than running a long piece of hose from teh pickup fwd before routing it back to the engine. Just a thought
