Funds Brave restore thread

It is what it is Bill. Am I thrilled? No. Is it a good thing to have a new tank to go with all new power? I think so. Restarts the clock on this boat.

I mean, a 20 year old tank... salt water use... Miami... if not now... soon.

There wasn't 76 gallons in there and it ain't no 145. It was not as rectangle as it looked through the sending unit hole with gas in it. Now it has water in it. The gas is driving around in like 5 people's cars.

You're not truly a man until you've wrenched a fuel tank from the grasp of an old offshore hull.

One of you is going to lose. Actually, both of you will lose. One will just lose less. Look on it as a charachter-building experience. And relish in the fact that those that have not travelled this path truly haven't earned their stripes yet.

I'm going over after work tomorrow to help..shouldnt be to bad..I usually pretty good at taking things apart... putting them back together is a bit more challanging.... all I need is a lot of beer,a big hammer...........

Today is the day. Two Tanks enter, one tank leaves.
Why is everything a character building experience??

I wouldn't say that I am looking forward to it, but the neighbors are either on board, or out of town... so I am keeping my eyes on the stripes.

On a project like this, you need somebody to watch and say "Yep," "Ohh," "Uh-Oh," and "That's gonna leave a mark."

I will look for the big hammer tho.

fill that puppy with water or hook a dryer hose to the exhaust something to blow all the air out of the tank..it's the fumes that go boom. exhaust works good because you eliminate the oxygen.
