MMMMH Never say Never

Just collected the next project to be carried out at chez "Fin"

Natalie wants to keep it underwraps at the moment
But two good days on it at the weekend have left me with a bare hull

(Pic will go here when released)

Fuel tank out at last ( mental note to wear a long sleeve shirt when working on a GRP boat)

Tank is pretty cruddy inside so have cut open to give it a clean out, new pick-up required due corrosion, and IMHO incorrectly located.

I wasn't sure how to address the pick ups in the tank then I thought about these old rib-nobba tanks I had lying around,

Cutout the fittings a seems a good solution, made up some access plates and the idea seems to work fine.
