Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
That's probably a no. When we had the engine serviced and injection pump rebuilt it was prepared for long term storage. As much as I'd like to see it run I'll have to wait awhile for that. I do turn it over on the battery every once in awhile to circ the oil and that's about it.

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
That was pretty smart Rick.
Keep on plugging. I am sanding primer today. Tomorrow we clean the shop and topcoat Thursday and Friday and sand topcoat? If needed Saturday and final coat Monday, but I might just two coat it so I can get it moved out of the building. I am getting impatient to get my painting done while my two oldest are home from college.

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
So all things being normal I ordered fuel tanks that are just a weeee bit too big for the boat. A lotta work around to get them fitted. One was the clearance from the fuel filler to the main cross beam. Not much leeway. I had to remove 3/8" from the filler pipe to get that much clearance.
Slapped some paint on the stbd side of the engine compartment. Should be able to mount the fuel tank permanently in a couple days.
Hotter 'n hell here so I get a few hrs in the morning to work before the heat drives me out of the shed.
More to come. Standby....

Those tanks expand. Make sure you got some space up and on the sides.
