Picked up today

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

I've been busy trying to finish this boat, so the last couple of days i removed and cleaned the gas tank in and out and also getting new hoses and fittings.





Also had to fix the gas tank hatch, it felt soft when stepping on it, so i remove the core material and to my surprise the core was honeycomp style PAPER , never seen that before and was soaked in water(sorry no picture of that) so removed it and epoxied a 3/4 plywood secured with epoxy resin and filler, then epoxied the underside of it, looks pretty strong now.






Also finished with a layer of cloth the transom gap.





Starts to look good.

Was it tough to get the gas tank out I here it is packed in foam

[bksah2]

Did you find the foam to be wet

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

No, it was not hard to remove at all. It had foam on te top portion of the perimeter so what i did was used a hack saw blade and cut it loose.
Foam was not wet.
Any body knows if the foam were using is it closed cell? (does not absorb water).

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

I've been doing some work on the V lately, can't go full throtle, i've been busy with work. Anyway, besides changing all wires, removed live well(what a huge space under it), changing location of second battery(under the live well), also in the same location i installed the raw water washdown pump, battery charger and the second battery.
I remove part on the original console and made a new one to fit my gauges, switches and GPS.





Also painted the side rod holder boxes, they came out much better that expected.

For some reason some of the pics i took today they came out.............. green? I don't know why.

Nice work, the pics come out green cause you have to adjust your digital for fluorescent lighting.
