On my 936 mile delivery home, the only casualties were 9 fuel filters, and the AC circ pump died. Not too shabby for an old girl.

This post makes as much sense as any other here:
9 filters!...
Time to clean the tanks.. In the last 15000 miles I haven't had to replace 9 filters.. Every year I seem to replace almost clean filters.. only once did I HAVE to replace a filter.
Good luck with the new boat!

I ass-u-me you will be making a resto/repair thread?
It's nice when you can afford to 'adopt' a stray when happenstance throws one right in your lap.View attachment 30256View attachment 30257
Thanks Flagold for your YouTube videos. You made me a believer!!
Cappy: you are pretty much on the mark with observation. Significant money can be saved by installing plastic saddle tanks, and using a local automotive glass installer for the glass work. If anyone is still following the Mischief - I would use caution going with 52 hp - this proved barely adequate in some situations.
You mention plastic saddle tanks. How big were the tanks you removed? I am contemplating removing the tank(s) next winter preemptively. But cutting them in half insitu is going to be a job and a half.
What size tank did you replace with? I have two 100's, and was contemplating putting in 2 20's and 2 50's. Figuring on all the putting I do around in the summer wouldn't use more that the 2 20's. And long trips I could open up the 50's when needed.
And, Sortie, thanks for the link. That place is awesome. I am so protective of my original windows, they make me cringe when anyone even leans on the panes. Nice to know it isn't a deal breaker to put a new one in.
