Winter projects coming together
Well my winter projects are starting to come together
If any of you remember Ive had fuel leak problems for 3 yrs or so and hopefully no more (fuel pooling in small bilge in cabin)
winter projects
- New tank, lines, sender all are in the boat
- New complete impeller kit installed
- New drive seals ( one came out after I rubber maleted a skeg guard on) done
- Oil change, fuel filter ect ect Done
- New trim tab pump as soon as it warms up outside
my mechanic said everything under the tank looked great, stringers in perfect condition and no rot
he also noted how well Formula installed the tank and he used a variety of methods to get it out with minimal foam damage including an overhead crane/lift to pop it out
Gauges and tubular swin platform are soon
I cant wait for a summer with no fuel leaks

Nice, some good jobs done. Fuel leaks are annoying,,,,,, and dangerous, glad you dialed that in. Did some other nice stuff too, good for you.
Mine is sleeping soundly in a huge barn that I cannot get to until spring. I'll be doing new rear seat and engine hatch vinyl. Bought the material from McLoed (sp?), original 1989 vintage Formula white,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the good stuff
Bought a new trailer last fall, put the boat on it the day I got it home and tucked it away in storage that same day. Haven't seen it since. Can't wait to hook it up to my new-to-me '04 Yukon XL. Whole package is white, should look good.
Let's see what the rest of you boat-heads are up to
