fuel tank repairs

ok the tank is out. I was talking with a friend about the boat he got me hooked up with a 60 gal tank to replace the 40 gal one with. After getting as much gas as we could hold in 2 cars 2trucks and my buddys trihull my wife and I decided to just go ahead and replace the stringer too. When we got the tank out we were glad we made that decision as the glass is seperating from the wood where there is wood then there are places that it is just plain broken.
The nice thing about this project is it is a family affairyou will see my youngest son working theball to empty the tank, and my wifes foot as she helped me get the tank out. then I cut the bulkhead out that was in frount of the tank. you can see it gives me another 16 inches to move the tank foward that space is completly empty. I think the next one is empty too, however I have not verified that yet. I came in to get a shower and wait till I have the proper protective gear then I will cut up the deck. I am also thinking of cutting out the twe boxes in the rear of the boat that are on the sides. I hate them and they take a huge amount of space I can use for .... idont know something i'll think of it later.

one more thing when I got this boat everyone told me there was not foam in it you can see from the pics there is foam in the boat. What i was amazed by is the foam is dry. well was dry it will rain tonight and get wet I dont mind as I intend to replace it anyway.
