You also have the option/possibility of finding a new, surplus tank. Check w/ these guys: http://www.themarineconnection.net/FuelWaterTanks.html

Whatever happened to building a simple frame of PVC or 2x4s and just using a blue tarp to cover the boat??? Doesn't anyone be me do that anymore? :D I have my Formula under a heavy duty gray tarp that is supported by some old 2x4s and pieces of 1/2" ply and tied down with clothes line cord...

I think blue is kerosene and white is water. You're a sneaky SOB Bob. :goodjob

If you are marina-moored, just be prepared to get hassled by marina personnel. I have heard that some places don't want owners bringing in their own fuel if their is a pump at the end of the dock. So, they may see the gas can and assume that's what you're doing.

I would pull that boat with my 187,000 mile 4.0 Cherokee...

Re: Survey Issue Today Suggestions Needed on Hard Top Rottin With the boat being a 2006, I think there's probably a good chance GW will cover it. If not, I would consider only the following 3 options. 1. Dealer/seller foots the bill and gets it fixed. 2. Knock the repair cost off the agreed...

Re: 1981 Mako 17 Project - transom is done!!! I finally got tired of moving the aft section of the Mako around in the garage, so I put the grinder to it last night. The original transom bowed out slightly at the top, so I had to cut a straight line across the gunwale to match up with the new...

Yes. :wink: It's a very common practice to convert an I/O boat to single/twin outboards. Seasick, once you mount that bracket the boat is going to be VERY sensitive to the weight hanging off the transom. I would recommend selling the twin rigging and mounting a single engine, or if you are...

Why buy the wheel when you can just reinvent it??? :lol:

Try Clorox Clean-Up. That stuff made the capt. chairs on my old 252 look like new. If that doesn't work, maybe wipe a little acetone on the back side to see if it makes the surface tacky. Could also try sanding it with something like 400 wet and then go lighter to make it really smooth if it...

Exactly! :) These might help you figure out the placement. Look carefully because there are two angle brackets for each rod rack. The top one for the aft rack is above the window if I remember correctly.

And I believe the seacock has NPS threads on the inlet and NPT on the outlet and ball valves have NPT on both ends.

I am willing to be that he meant no mat had been used in between layers of roven. Everything I have read states that using mat in between layers of roven results in a better lamination, but it's not absolute necessity. I'm sure if you contacted GW customer service they could tell you the...

Hurricane clean-up and home repairs. :cry:

Update your profile picture. That's not your dock. :wink:

I made the original templates out of brown construction paper that I had my wife pick up from Walmart or something. Folded them up and stuck them in regular business size envelopes if I remember correctly.

Ancor makes similar ones. http://www.marinco.com/product/splash-proof-snap-plugs They aren't an exact match for the Yamaha ones, but I made them work.

I've heard of people advertising bad/old gas on Craigslist and having it gone w/in hours. I pumped the old gas from my Formula into a 55 gallon drum I bought off CL. Stored it in the shed for a few weeks until it was hazmat day at one of the local trash collection stations. They took it for...

Cut the inside. That way you can pull out the entire aft section of the cap and get a look at the stringers...or what is left of them.

That picture you posted looks more like water floating on top of gasonline than the other way around. Here's what I pumped out of my Formula's old tank. Once it settled out, it looked just like your picture, only upside down. Maybe someone at the marine is stealing gas from your boat and...
