Looks like she's shaping up nicely.Can't miss those Tracker boot stripes.Your old tank looks like mine. The price for a new tank sounds attractive, how long did they say it would take?

Otto, is that the vent that they ran back along the top of the tank? Projects looking good so far I wish I had an indoor place(warm [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) to work on the boat! Looking good !

Jon,

Yes, it's the vent tube. It makes sence to push and pull vapors from the opposite end. I'll be interested to see how SP sets it up.

Thanks for the comment.

Otto

Default 23' rebuild progress

Hey all,

The following are a few images of the current status of the project. Thank God that Tom (SaltyDog) was available to help with this project fulltime as the epoxy dematitis thing and extensive travel would have blown the project for a spring splash. Curses to Tracker for their crappy workmanship as we had to dig deep to make everything right. We start painting today with reassembly following over the next few weeks...











Oh, yea, we ended up ordering a 133 gallon aluminum tank from SPTanks.com. Best price by $200 (US $595) plus shipping.

Tom and Otto

Hey OTTO

Lookin good. Obviously you're feelin' better - glad to hear it.

Did you notice some of the guys confused us becaust of our names ??? Can't see the reason for that - I'm the young, good looking one.

Some sad news. Looks like Otterly Cool will never get wet. Sick and tired over the arguments so I'm probably going to sell her when the weather warms up. You know, it's amazing how something you've looked forward to can be ruined by someone's attitude - to the point where you just don't want to deal with it anymore. Sorry for rambling on but I think you get the picture.

Keep putting up pictures - I'm living vicariously through you

BOB

Bob,

Thanks for the comments. Good to hear from you!

Sorry to hear about the misunderstanding of priorities. There's a time for everything and yours will come. I had the same problem with competative golf. Competing at a State and occational National level didn't carry any weight against fatherhood, husbandhood, etc.

Elizabeth has been very understanding and ulitimately supportive, as she know it's my thing. As long as I get the important stuff done...

Keep the faith, brother. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Regards,

Otto

A few questions, Where are the stringers that go to the transom? What is that wood piece with the cutout you put in the transom? Are you going bracket and if so, what bracket and what power?

maybe just a cupholder so you don't spill your drinks...

That wood looks like an excellent way to place a big 'ole bilge pump ...

And not what I've seen for shooting a thru hull...
