My first

[CHANCE1234]

Scott, I don't plan on replacing the tanks this year but probably next year. The foam on top is not wet but I have no idea around the sides and underneath. Hopefully it will be good enough for this year. To expose the tanks is just one piece that is flush and was sealed with some sort of silicone. It came out very easy. I just cut the joint with a utility knife to free it up and out she came. I will put it back the same way. Not exactly ideal but it is nice to access that area of the boat.
Hey miles, sorry about the anchor locker template, it must have been thrown away with a bunch of other crap. I don't know how long you have had your boat but if it has been a while and the muffler is still good, hopefully the same can be said for my boat. The risers and elbows were replaced about 6 months before I bought her. I have the same rudder work to do as well, she has a little play in her, maybe 1/16 of an inch or less. Again that may wait till next year, but if it is a water tight issue I will do it sooner. I thought about the heater thing and I left some room for it on the console but this year is pretty much gonna be a sea trial year. Since i have only been underway on her once for about 30 min. And that was with the old t-top and other things that I have since changed. Even the curtains will wait till next year. Things that will be comming in March MAY include cutlass bearing, rudder post, new deck plates. Mainly things that will keep her upright. I will post pics as soon as I can of the electrical work. I also put a hatch 13X24 (i think) in the front of the console abouve the seat for storage and access. I was acutally down your way last week miles. I had a coast guard class down in yorktown. But I stayed with a buddy of mine in Chesapeake. Sorry I didn't look you up but i was very busy. They still bitin down there? Looks like rain for you guys, maybe some snow comming soon. Looks like us northern guys got some more white stuff comming. Damn Grounhog!!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
