Hello friends,
Here are some updates on my progress. We stayed on the "Great Escape" all weekend and had a great time. I will be adding pictures of my fuel tank soon, I just forgot to take some.
Thanks to all for your help.
Rob

Wow looks like a different boat. You have done a bunch of work since I stopped by. I am inpressed !!!

We very well might be up your way this coming weekend, can we find an overnight berth at Ludlow. I will haul it and pressure wash the bottom Friday evening if we decide to go, only takes about 1/2 hour start to finish to do a 90% clean job and the speed and mileage is worth it. My boat has slowed down like crazy so far this year and running don't help, I have put on 40 hours and had the 4 bbls singing every weekend at least once since late april. Just a waste of gas but I kinda like the sound !!
