LOL No I just keep reading other Blogs about getting more HP and going faster, the old story, once you get used to a boat the next thing is to go faster. I had a problem with the Electrical on the port side, Merc tech taking forever what else is new ! Also kept flip floping about Props. Should been in this week. When you did your stringers along the gas tank did you have to go all the way to the middle bulk head ?

let me know how them sb's work out.

man my boat was a mess and I'm crazy for doing it but i'm just as stubborn as crazy. I hate to lose so I am fighting it until it's done. my stringers got worse the further I went forward and I have to replace them all way to the front bulkhead plus the mid bulkhead. I hope your not looking at the same problem.
