Two weeks before I was planning to pull the boat in Dec 06 one of my tanks stated leaking so I had to do them. They were theoriginals 20 years old, I've since been told thats about the life of a aluminum tanks.
Once we had the engines and tanks out we got to see how screwed up the wireing was the neg and bonding were criss crossed all over, so everything was redone. Witht he engines a just went the extra bucks and got new harnesses. Still have some more worjk to do on the fly bridge this year.
Most of what I was planning to do this year was cosmetic until I moved her back to VA. in Dec and had a strom come through in Jan and drop the cover shed from the dock next to me on top of her. We will be getting a new hard top and vinyl and a few other things thanks to the insurance.

The slips behind me were under a shed, we had a storm come down the creek and lift up the shed and drop it on the boats on my side. All the damage was to the hardtop and anything attached to it. It added up to a good sum of monet but the insurance is covering it all, will be good as new in a few months.
