Default Fun with my Seacraft

Just when you get ready to put it in the water I started smelling gas. I cut the 5200 and pulled the screws off the console, laid it over and too off the hatch. I hate the little inspection plate as you can't see anything. Thank god it is only the gasket on the sending unit for the gauge. The tank was replaced in 96/97 and I didn't see any pitting on the top so it will make it until later. I will also be recoring the hatch as it must have weighed 100 lbs. I am planning on doing the floor in November. I just recored the baitwell hatch after I finished cutting out the back of the well.

It's always something....I just want to go for a boat ride. Is that too much to ask.

Depends on how many boats you've got. More than two or three and you'll probably spend more time working on them than using them...

... But some of us like that part too, so it's all good.

Fortunately I have 3 boats with engines! Yes, I spend most of my spare time in some way, shape, or form with fishing or hunting chores. One is in pieces (literally), one is the seacraft, and one is the good old reliable aluminum go devil. My wife doesn't like riding in the aluminum boat and actually I bought the Seacraft to make it easier with her and 2 small kids. To top it off, my brother and a friend bought a 1987 Ski Nautique for super cheap and having rebuilt my old one I know a thing or two and am being pulled to help with that.

I need a clone.
