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? |

Why not turn the tank around so fill is in back?...

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..
I will go with your idea very good, thanks |

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
