Default tiny project (comparatively speaking)...

I have slowly and quietly been working on my 1972 20SF since I bought it last year. it has a 1996 Suzuki 115 on it with just over 300 hours. it looks like it had some serious work done in the mid 90's and most of it has held up pretty well. So far I have replaced the seats with a Taco leaning post, added a chart plotter and resurrected the canvas that came with it. I also repainted the nonskid on the deck.

This weekends project was slightly more urgent as I smelled strong gas fumes in the bilge and found the fuel filter was so corroded it had started leaking fuel. I tried to unscrew the filter but managed to crack it. I drained the filter and tried to remove it with a screwdriver through the side of it.

I ended up removing the whole assembly and replacing it with a new stainless assembly with better access for easier maintenance. (once you break out the framing hammer and the vice grips, "gentle" is out the window)

I also included a pic of the boat ready for a day on the water.

cheers,
TuffGuy
