Not even sure why you need to coal tar coat a tank anyways. KISS theory applys here. This tank out of the 1967 bowrider, looks to us as original, and has little pitting on the outside. It looked to just been laying in the coffin with rubber strips on it, no tar no foam.....
the first mistake was making a tank from stainless steel...

the second was failing to properly prep the surfaces

third was foam

fourth was,using that piece of wood

fifth,was him boasting and people feeding his ego...


nice boat huh ?? wonder what else will be discovered ?? fuel tank problem - problem with the paint before ?? i'm sure there's a whole lot more !!
