fuel tank repairs
I traded another boat and trailer for this one. After spending some time going over it i have compiled a small list of things to repair.
1) Ttop needs some welding and a scrubbing. 2) I would like to redoo the console maybee raise it? 3) new leaning post that I can put a cooler/ livewell under 4) will need a livewell as this boat doesn't have one 5) helm leaks yes it's a baystar ...... 6) oh yeah the gas tank is loose floting around in the bilge...

Well, why we trashin the whole boat, what about the transom??
I'm overwhelmed, remove and put the T-top off to the side. Start with the tank and see if it is needing replacing or not, then worry about the console & leanin post repairs or modifications. What year is that? More pictures and WELCOME TO THE SITE!!

The boat is great these are the things I need to address to go fish.
The transom is solid other wise I would not have traded my G3 for it. The G3 was great for backwater I just needed something bigger to go out past the charelston jettys with my wife onboard. she was a little uncomfortable 5 miles out in a johnboat with a 90 on the back of it. Now she is happy and I can take her out farther offshore. Tank is done that gray hose in the picture was installed using bathroom silicone. It goes right through a big hole the last owner made so he could get gas when his pickup clogged and he did not want to replace the tank. It leaks to say the least. As for the year it is an 87' The moter is an 01'

Cool deal...wish it was warmer so I could whittle away at my list. Mine is somewhat longer than 6 items but none of them are too major. You know how they say you eat an elephant? 1 bite at a time. Congratulations on the new boat. And welcome to the site!

Spareparts,
nice to know there is someone close by. I will keep that in mind as I start these project I've gotten myself into. When I'm done with the center console I will be redoing the transom and decks on this little 15. then I will give it to my best friend, he is up in Mcleleanville( I know I butchered that). so I have alot of work to get done this year.

woodbutcher, i had an old hydrosport with a tank issue like yours(hose stuck in the top). I took a piece of aluminum plate larger that the hole on top and drilled and tapped it to receive a fuel pickup. i used a product called liquid aluminum to bond the plate to the top of the tank. it was a quick easy fix, but i don't know how permanent, i sold the boat 3 or 4 months later.
good luck
