Gametime...new fuel tank etc

[Gametime]

pulled the boat in feb, and almost have it all back together.
Looked at Boca posts and decided to re-install without foam and blocked it in. That saturated fuel foam was nasty.
the tank had several holes that the salt build-up were actually semi-plugging.
soft patch was pretty bad. Installed new with epoxy on both sides and reglassed the deck.
put in flo-scan so I have some idea of what I'm burning. new furuno GP33 .
new toilet and plumbing smells fresh and clean. )
dug out the foam from the fish hold and reglassed the drain hole someone had put in there.
epoxied both sides of the fuel cell plywood so that should help too. Installed a drain into the eng. rm. bilge...
the boat had a natural starboard list. full of water when I pulled the soft patch. hopefully that should help.
replaced stb, trim tab ram.. kept wondering why it wasn't quite handling right.
Oceanside Marine yanked the tank for me and finished up the flo-scan. Butch does a nice job.
need a new windlass and a refrig. door and I'm all set.(rotted)
see you back on the dock soon.

Nothing more setteling than having a tight fuel cell.
Yea your right. I discovered many years ago about Butch and da boys, they do good work up there at Oceanside Marine and are very helpfull with all the questions you may have on the diesel and such.
See ya on the water.
