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.
