Thanks J.B. and GSF,

My fishin bud, Brian has the same mantra. It aint the salt water that kills em it`s the fresh. I`m planning on keeping my friend until they pry my stiff cold digits off the wheel and had been wondering about stress cracks, screws, and thru hulls. My plan calls for overboring all screw holes etc. and
filling w/ resin n chop, then re-drilling the holes in hopes of preventing future issues.The re-bed of everything on the hull is on my to do list.

What`s the best way to remove the foam? My tank has mounting tabs on the top which are screwed into the stringers...... How should I support the bottom of the tank?

Thanks again for the help,
GFS
