Today I siphoned the fuel tank the old fashion way. I hate the test of gasoline but I was able to fill up two vehicles and still have about 10 gallons left over in jugs. The gas tank was removed and then the deck was removed. The gas tank seems to be in very good condition. I have about an inch of fuel still in there but no place to put it until tomorrow. After it is dry I will clean it up and pressure test it. I think my new plan will to get a new under deck tank made and cut about 8 inches out of the console to give more deck room. So starting tomorrow I will start the clean up phase and see how much water is in the foam. Besides pushing down on the top of the foam to check for water is there any better way? The stringers all seem to be in good condition as well. However, this boat is tittled as a 1973. i thought the stringers were changed to the box style in '72. the original HIN is not visible or never existed. Is there any other way to help determine the actual year of the boat? Once I get it cleaned up,I will get some more pictures.
