So you are boatless now? Sorry just saw this.

Check the fuel senders before you open up the tanks. I had one start leaking on my Gun and when I filled it, it was dumping fuel.

Do the T/S boats have the same tank issue?

EDIT - obviously they do since this is a Stepped Bottom boat. Any idea what year the problem went away?

I am not sure how big of a problem it was. I think it is like anything else, you could probably go a life time with one and never have an issue, and another boat might break in two years. I was just one of the unlucky ones.

Its been almost a year now since I discovered this issue and I will have pictures and an update next week, as the New tanks are about ready to go back in, and all new interior. I am getting excited to get it back in my shop to put it all back together.

Well updates are slow coming, but I now have all of my interior parts powder coated and all of the upholstery is done and ready to go back in. I only have one problem. No boat! The tanks are ready to go back in, so hopefully it won't be too long now and I will have all winter to get it back together.

On a different note it is a rainy slow day at work today so I tried doing some research on how many Tigers were built in 02, and I can't find an answer. Does anyone know how many Tigers were built in 02?

I thought I would chronicle the adventures of "Paradigm Shift" and update on the progress before I get the boat back in the next couple weeks OH...did I really say that out loud? SHHHH ....It's been a LONG time coming. OVER a year and in two different shops.

That was then at the beginning the boat stayed much this way from July to December 2018 and they are rocking and rolling with getting her done. This is how it has progressed. Tanks received in September. New cockpit interior completed October and awaiting install. Tanks put in November the blocking under the tank was a bit of the hold up. December the Floor started being glassed in. Decided while it was this far down to replace the drive, throttle shifter and Tab cables.
