Hi everyone, as most of you know I have brought my boat back from the dead and have been restoring it (if i can call it that)ever since its been running again. I built a motor for it, placed all the new ignition, fuel filter, oil filters in one area, all new gauges, new water pump,new water intake transom pick up(thanks to forrest), new custom made water cooled headers, new interior(thanks to bob at built rite), hood scoop, bought a 275 drive with trim and tilt(thanks to MOP and al) (which i am debating on using or going a different route) and finally a trailer thanks to dan.
I have done alot of work to my boat and the last thing I need is a new 40 gallon tank. My tank has been a problem since I brought my boat back to life and it has been LONG over due to be replaced. everytime i go below half tank my fuel line clogs and it is a easy fix(blow the fuel line to unclog it). This is becoming irratible and is not really safe.
Now the reason i need help. all my years owning this boat i never had a garage or warehouse to work on it. If i had inclimate weather I had to wait till a sunny day(and warm day). To replace my tank I need a place where I can take my deck off and replace my tank without worrying about the weather. there are also other things I need to do with the baot as well while my deck is off. I need to repair the rear corner starboard side because of the boat falling off the blocks I want to fill in the disgusting cut outs that a previous owner did under neath the rear of motor cover. I need to completely rewire the entire boat so it fits to my standards (wires side by side). Buy all new stainless rub rails. build a dual battery platform on both sides. Possibly install the newer drive with trim if my other drive I have in mind falls through.
I think this gives you a pretty good idea of what i need to do. I do have a plan I just need to set it into action. I cant do any of this without a fairly large garage. I want to do it right. Then I will finally be worthy of showing up to a donzi event. Sorry, I know some of you guys are torn with me on here because I have never shown up to a big event. I dont feel moody blu is ready to be shown. Its getting there and this deck off would be the final part. its the hardest part sicne I dont have a large garage. Hell i never have had a garage.
If someone around the NJ area would be so willing to help me out on this time consuming project I would be forever in debt to you. I dont have that much money but im sure I could get a few hundred bux to give to whoever has a place for me to finsih my project. whatever I i have left is going towards fixing moody blu. I guess i can be greatful for my mechanical skills if i didnt have them my boat would still be sitting on blocks.
So I ask is there anyone out there willing to give moody blu the medical housing she needs to perform surgery?
the only thing i would really need help with is getting the deck off and on and taking the old tank off and reinstalling the new one. I can do most of the other work by myself (with some help from the forum members). I dont want to take time away from anyone unless they would like to help.
Please let me know
thank you so much for reading
