Clearly the tank needed replacing. I just don't get why some of them have to continue to pick, pick, pick.

I don't want to beat Tony. I want him to get finished and then loan me the Whaler for a few weeks so I can have a "season."

Hi Rob, Yep. I will be up. Maybe by tomorrow morning I will have the rest of the bad stuff out. I picked up some cool wheels for my dremel. I need to find some resin.

The corrosion thing is interesting. When I pulled my tank out, it was dirty from the tank compartment not being sealed from the bilge and water sloshing underneath it but after I washed it off it looked practically new and its over 20 years old. Only issue was two of the mounts were broken at the welds from the hull twisting (rotten stringers). I plan on foaming it back in when I finally get it back together, is there a coating or an epoxy paint necessary to go over the bare aluminum to keep it from corroding from the outside when the tanks are foamed in place?

The tank builders do an epoxy paint. They say that the corrosion only occurs with water and an abscence of air. So maybe there was enough air in with the bilge water slosh to prevent the hard core corrosion that I got. Plus... your's was probably freshwater... where mine had been salt. The best way to keep the tank from corroding (from what I have learned lately) is either A) make sure than any water is accompanied by air, or B) make sure that no water gets between the tank and the foam. I guess that when there is air present.... aluminum will not corrode with water.

Thats the boat Buoy and I were talking about originally in the paint gone wrong thread. Pretty sure its a knock off hull. Ive seen it up close on the trailer and seen it run. Not impressed at all. It would do well on the car show circut.
but like Chris said to each his own.
