tank diagram

As a Realtor of 25 year's experience, my take is these prices are waaaay too crazy. BUT, as long as a waterfront property (and it's immediate area) is above the level of the expected sea level rise,...

I have one on my Seafari - after I installed it I noticed better ride from keeping the bow down more, and slower minimum planing speed.

As an alternative - I run the last of the stabilized fuel through the outboard, then drain the remaining fuel in the tank and use it in my car. In the spring, fill up with fresh and then go.

I'm jealous - up here in Jersey they lock you up for 5 years for possession of a gun like that. Need a permit for a BB pistol, too.
