Hi, again. Well, after a spring-full of honey-do's and a nightmarish transition at work, I finally splashed the bowrider last weekend.

She's fast. I found myself holding back, as this boat's power-to-weight is way more than anything I've driven before. Not that that says much, as most of my boats have been underpowered and this smallish hull is on the borderline of overpowered.

She's wet, or I'm not driving it well enough yet. The spray was welcome last Sunday since it was 90+ degrees. But the bulk of my boating is fishing in the fall from Oct-Dec. I better save up my pennies for some vinyl panels to enclose the bimini.

I searched around, but couldn't find anything. With all this E10 business eating glass fuel tanks, I was wondering if the original tank was aluminum? I know the tank could've been replaced, but short of opening up the deck or finding someone on here with credible knowlege about the restore, I can't be sure what material it is. That was another reason to bring up the thread, hoping that maybe someone knows this boat.
