my buddys think im crazy,but every time i put my boat in the water,i always open the hatch,turn on the blower and smell for gas fumes,then i start them and check for leaks,only takes a minute,and if nothing else,it gives me peace of mind.electrical fires can be almost as bad as a gas leak,but probibally less common.

Is it me, or are there an awful lot of tragedies happening with boats burning lately, especially skaters...
Have these boats had the tanks redone?
I was thinking about this the other day....the tanks could be leaking causing fuel to go into the bilge...I'm not insinuating but I was thinking about this, this is exactly the problems that were supposedly going to happen if you didn't replace the original tanks in the Skaters....I only say this because in recent light of the accidents happening with Fire, and Skaters in the same sentence...they all seem to be older boats as well..
Just a thought...and my .02 c
