Another 31 Awesome owner is James Beard. He had a fuel tank leak and may be of some help in fuel tank removal and installation. Here is the thread that he posted on. Good guy and very knowledgeable.

Your engine bay So clean and shine...

Your bulkhead is different place.

How many inches tank is from boat rear wall (from top end/where drives go out) ?

Few things has happened..

Outside doors are done but not in place, those put in place
when other jobs in cabin has done..

Also O2 bungs are welded. That was quite challenge when
this is first time ever for using the MIG welder. Pipes are douple
layer so they need first weld together.. All done when pipes are
in own places.

Next job is repair the fuel tanks.
Deside to coated the old ones from inside with vinyl ester resin and with 2-3 glass layers.
Vinyl ester is also standardized for ethanol, maybe in the future tune the engines for E85..

Change old "white" vinyl's in cockpit area to carbon look ones.
