Yep. You bought a project boat and were hoping that after two years of hard labor you'd earned a reprieve.....

This.

And stainless tank? Good luck with that. A well known classicmako guy sold his boat, around 2-3mo's later the stainless tank parted at a weld.

Stick with aluminum and coal tar epoxy em.

I feel your pain.
7 months of LONG days replacing my deck that snowballed into a whole lot more things done.......
Prior to haul had a fuel truck at my house to fill my tanks with diesel and been dealing with clogged filters as he pumped dirty fuel into my tanks.

OUCH, there seems to be a lot of that going around with diesel.

not just diesel.. there seems to be a run of bad gas at some of the marina's as well.. according to several people I have heard (read complain) talk about it last week... I haven't had a problem( I'm clunking myself up side the head for luck).. but my fuel ( gas) tank is only 30 gallons.. and I watch/check the fuel flow restricter gauge and sediment bowl daily...This months weather hasn't helped...

How restores work, after I'm done this season I already have my fall/winter/spring work list:

Pull engine for new engine mounts.
Paint entire bilge.
Strip cap of brightside and shoot with awlgrip or alexseal.
Remove thru hull transducer, cut out old start battery box, put 1kw ducer there.
New raw water intake and raw water strainer.
Strip and paint any engine bits that could use it while its out.
Build doghouse off of console. (most likely ridiculously expensive because I want to keep it light as possible, nidacore sides, balsa roof)

Wanna run a restore? Be ready to keep restoring.
