The Crab Trap, our '91 2310, needed a new fuel tank. Talk about a project. Took about 2-3 weeks working on it a few days a week.
Step 1: Drain and give all the neighbors free gas for their mowers.
Step 2: Contact Parker engineer for blueprints and order replacement tank. Pick up tank.
Step 3: CUT HOLE IN DECK WITHOUT EXPLOSION.
Step 4: Dig out old gas-soaked epoxy foam.
Step 5: Use house jack to break seal of tank from foam and lift out old tank.
Step 6: Drain out seven gallons of gas in bottom of boat.
Step 7: Cut new marine grade ply for deck.
Step 8: Reconnect and install new tank. Re-foam around tank.
Step 9: Re-glass patch.
Step 10: Level, sand and re-gel coat deck.
I'm sure I've left off many many steps, but you get the idea...
