Fuel Tank build

What is interesting about this build is that he sold it online with pictures of how it's aged, and it's got more problems than just that fuel tank.
The durabak floor, which the company used as a testimonial in their ads, is a disaster.
The balance of the boat is so completely off with those two 4 strokes hanging off the bracket that the motors are totally corroded up and under the cowlings.
After all of that work, time and money, painting his truck to match and everything the poor guy manages to put about 200 hrs on the boat before selling it.
Jack of all trades, master of none can end in serious disappointment if you're building your "dreamboat". Boats that work properly and look great doing it are no accident.

Amen Brothah!

There`s an old saying in the restaurant biz.

You`re only as good as your last meal.

I have a shiny diploma that collects dust in a closet.

My first real job was washing dishes for a crazy Italian chef who liked to throw knives.
I was 12 and my first night is a memory etched in stone.

Yes just one more since you sent me that PM with your marine certifications. Sorry but I am not one that is easily impressed with certificates. I don't know why you did that because your knowledge about fuel tanks or anything marine related was never questioned. The problem was with you bad mouthing someone that made an honest mistake. So my question to you is.... if you want to make yourself out to be a professional then why cant you at least act like a professional ?

If you want to go kindergarten again and get the last word in then go ahead.....I'm out

Jeeez some people......


Spidey thanks for the resurface. That made the whole thred worth it...

I knew I should have been reading over here, instead of raising a ruckus over on THT.
Now you boys play nice.

You've got mad skills, Mr Herman. I asked my wife to make me a scrambled egg sandwich with cured spanish chorizo and lake country cheese on goliath rye toast and she said, "make it yourself." Any advice on how to concoct such a culinary extravaganza
