so as mentioned in my other post, my tank is getting replaced. Atlantic Coastal Welding in NJ will be fabricating the new one.

for those that have to put the boat away for the winter, we are beyond the half way mark to next season! i thought it would be cool to post your favorite pic from last season to hold us over and get us excited for the upcoming season. here is my favorite. (if you have a 12 month season, just...

dropped the old tank off at Atlantic Coastal Welding saturday. 2.5 hours each way the day after a snow. my blue truck is now white. also, had to have the tailgate down since the tank is about 1/2 inch too long to close the bed. oh well so, the tank that was in the boat is a replacement. in...

definitely not composite. by over 10 years. its very hard for us to give good advice beyond that without seeing the transom or at least pictures of the transom. what you describe does sound like wood that is swollen and holding water. an inspection from a good fiberglass shop should...

so, while the old tank is out and the new one is being fabricated, i think i am going to paint the bilge area where the tank is (and while i am at it, ill do the aft bilge too). i have decided to go with TotalBoat TotalBilge epoxy paint. just for fun, i am going to "tint" it with their TopSide...

if you zoom in, it looks like there is a rachet strap around the cooler

the tank in my boat gave up the ghost. i had expected this to be the case ever since i filled up the first time this summer (first season with the boat) as there was fuel in the bilge after filling. i got through the season by only running the tank about 1/2 full. yesterday, it failed the...

dropped mine off at the shop for annual service, mid section inspection, impellers, fuel tank pressure test, and a couple other small things...

in for updates

i would call ken at prop gods. he actually chose 3 blade props for me and i have been very happy. i have twin 250s and can cruise at 27-34 mph while getting 2.2-2.5 miles per gallon

nice, beautiful area, congrats on getting to boat out of there. ive vacationed in the obx a handful of times and really like it there. i usually do avon, but there isnt much in the way of marinas there or a super close inlet. we are looking into the top sail area for our next NC vacation

thats awesome! where was it?

i sold my last boat in april, it was a 1993 welcraft with the original poly tank. no issues at all. there are tons of boats 10 years newer with failing aluminum tanks. i dont have official statistics, but from what i have seen, poly will reliably outlast aluminum. its also very hard to keep...

you can have your fuel tank pressure tested to check for leaks (this is different from a fuel pressure test) my 2000 has an aluminum tank. question for the group - what is the advantage of an aluminum tank over a poly? it seems that the poly tanks hold up better, so why ever use aluminum?

go to a local canvas shop and have one made

at this point, if adding tabs, i would go electric

well, the nice thing with tabs and trim is that its adjustable to what you want. you may want to run at 40mph for an hour with tabs up & engines out, then tab down, trim in, and run 8 mph for a bit while plowing water and having a trawler like ride, then run back at 40 mph again. whats wrong...

sorry if i am coming off rude, but whats the point of a helm master on a single engine with no thruster? one throttle/transmission and one engine to steer. it wont do anything that a human cant do. it would make more sense to just put a speed knob on your wheel

damn, thats an insane reflection. please tell us what products you used and grit numbers. how was it before you started?

helm master for a single engine, no thruster?
