i will participate in shipping boat and spare parts if you have interest. I’m not sure I can load enough photos to this site. Go to my company web site B. Tait Builders for direct contact.
Hello, was it necessary to cut the deck floor in order to replace the fuel tanks?
The deck was cut prior to my purchase as the prior owner must have replaced the tanks. I replaced them again when I purchased it. I think the shell could have been removed with a little more effort. I cleaned it up as best as I could and have a deck deeper which looks pretty good. My plan was at some point to install Sea Deck.
