Weeding the Pumpkin patch

Thanks Anthony...interesting reading. For now I just want to clean it, but I may look into that more over the winter.

No problem Greg, read about, like I said, I was impressed with the performance. My tank had rust inside and I previously used a rust remover from the autopart. It removed some but when I used theirs it was unbelievable how it worked. Actually it revealed the thru holes where the rust made it thru. I used their patch sytem and is rock solid. Another cool thing is that they have a small tank kit in case you need to repair a smaller tank in your house. I used the whole kit and just a little bit was left. Good stuff IMO.

BTW, you can buy directly but also I have seen it in some body paint shops.

Their "metal ready" removed and neutralize the rust on the tank actually revealing leaks from the rust eat threw the metal. They said it works on aluminum. I finished with a coat of their sealer and that stuff is really hard. My tank has been good for 2 years and the product is still solid. Really easy to work with. Just an idea, Anthony

Anybody that coats their tank with this stuff or any other sealer that is not specifically made for ETHANOL in gas is in for a big surprise.

Complete with an in-floor fish tank and a mirror ball hanging from the tower!   LOL

Seriously, thanks guys.

Wow I justed joined and cant believe how awesome that looks. I re-did my floor but it did not come out as good as this! I did not re-do piping and stopped just before that vent box thing. I also felt pressured to get it done it still took two months. EVERY ONE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. I think you have to be a diffrent breed to own a SN most people would buy a new boat. where is the fun in that. Keep it up. keep posting pics.

I'm glad to see that you're helping to watch the store! I say that because I've followed your work as well and consider it a benchmark...and because I know you'd let me know if I was trying to bend plate glass again?!!?   LOL

This shows where I screwed up and how I fixed it. After all of the talk about the floor angle, I still flubbed it up. The sharpie line is where the floor should be, and all is good in this pic...it was a bit low before this pic?!!? After I was done kicking myself, I made a jig and cut these 'adjusters'.

The raw spots on the stringer are where I fine tuned the engine cradle.



So close and ran out of foam. Amy said pay for the saturday delivery?!!?   LOL

From Amy...
"Okay, now it’s Pete’s turn… Tell him I’m all about doing things “CORRECT-ly” the first time and I experience/share your OCD/ARP first hand but when I signed on for this project EIGHT MONTHS ago, I didn’t think we’d still be in dry dock in June… LOL   A girl can only go so long without her boat and I’m dying to hear it crank up!?!?!? Everyone’s head is gonna turn when they hear that bad boy crank! (sorry, I know boats and stuff are supposed to be female, but I just can’t do it to the 454-punkin) Yahooooo I get excited just thinkin’ about it.



Not to mention, “it’s Shake-N-Bake and I helped”, I’m doing my part but I need my evening, newlywed boat ride. Wink-wink."

Yep, she's still a keeper; and she helped last night!      

But now the pressure is on...if it doesn't crank?!!?   ROFL

Home Depot will have this!

Coming along nicely Greg. Keep up the good.
