Let the fun begin ( o wait it has been going on for a year ) https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b77940413.jpeg Cutting them in half to remove https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...50e86b5a3.jpeg One out https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...41155ab0e.jpeg Getting rest of fuel out https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c9ddec4e3.jpeg Fuel tank stringer cut some glass off to see condition. Replacing them all. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...2ff468b4b.jpeg Tanks had some Corrosion on the bottom of them https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...d8986577d.jpeg Finally getting there |
Got off work at 7am this morning came home and started on getting tanks out. Spent all day and all evening on it came inside at 9pm lol was a ton of work had to drain them then cut the top off and finish getting all fuel out. Then took a saw all to them and the grinder with cut off wheel. Cut them into pieces and then tore them out. I can’t believe how hard they were to get out that foam had them sucked in placed really good. Hopefully this week I can continue to get it all clean and ready for new stringers.

Lol well I may be crazy bit that’s ok cause when she’s done I’ll know it’s solid and better then when it left the factory. No cabin liner to move around under nasty lake conditions less weight a bit more speed and I think the most time consuming part will be the rewire. But seems a lot of these 30 year old boats have had a few peoples hand in the wiring it’s sub par at best with several things that could burn it down at any given time. It will be updates to all smart craft and it will take time. But good news is Lake Erie is going to dry up anytime soon my shop is heated and I have a fully stocked fridge in the shop what more could one want 😂😂😂😂😂
