Re: Leaking Fuel tank
I will try to show some pictures from my phone here. They are what I pumped off the bottom of my fuel tank. The gas looks blue from an additive to help with the alcohol in the gas. I will drain the tank and start the summer with new gas.

Jeff's Kayak?
Agreed. Just making a point on how outdrives can turn in either direction (with the motor normal rotation).

If it looks OK I would build a stand for it and connect water for cooling, gas to the carb, and a battery. Start and run it for a while. If you're happy with it put it in th...

Re: A little crazy?
First, do you have the hull on a trailer? If not, get one. It will pay for itself. Then with a forklift or just hydraulic jacks, heel the boat over to one side so it is only 11' 6 inches wide. ( I put timbers across my trailer front and back. Set the hull on the timbers and laid it on one side then ...
