[QUOTE="thill, post: 503706, member: 4972"] Thanks, Stand up. I still have a long way to go, but the skeleton is there. This afternoon, I pumped the soapy water out of the fuel tank, dried it with a towel stuffed inside and mopped around with a coat hanger, and installed new sender, pickup tube, hoses, primer bulb and filter. Put in 5 gallons of fuel and the gas gauge is reading well. No more portable tank! Then I sealed completely around the edges of the new flooring. That way water won't get in there and sit. Then I permanently screwed down the rear deck and soaked it with Thompson's just in case. Soon, I'll seal the front deck perimeter, add a stiffener to the front step edge. Then I need to strip, clean and paint the gunnels white to match everything else. Carpet on gunnels is just dumb, in my opinion. Stereo, fishfinder/GPS, passenger seating...There is a ton more to do, but at least the boat can be used at this point. [/QUOTE]
