Finally doing something to my Seacraft

[FossilMan]

Pulled the old motor off and hung the shiny, new one on. Looks awkward on the 'not so pretty' boat. Pulled the old tank. There was no way I was going to take a chance with any nasty old gas that was left in there. It's also way too big. It was 83 gallons and I'm going to go to at least half that. I want to get past the break in and run the boat a bit to see what numbers I get and that will help me determine the capacity of the new tank. I really like the way the bracket looks with the closed transom, but the weight, etc has me a bit concerned. I want to play around with the placement of the water and fuel tank a bit and see how it sits. There is room under the floor forward of the tank coffin to move the weight forward if need be. We'll see. Need to order some fuel lines, fill and vent hose and control cables. Then the fun part begins.
