Thanks for your responses!


gchuba: A friend will help me remove the tank this weekend. Fortunately for this boat the deck cover isn't too hard to remove — about 20 screws on the floor and half as much at the stern — so here's hoping the tank is just as easy to get out (dot dot dot). The portable tank was used by the previous owner's son when prepping the boat for sale; I was told that the built-in tank was emptied some months ago, but we are going to properly clean it before giving it a shot. Also going to install new fuel lines as it's been sitting for ~2 years.


Al: Thanks for the photos! Very helpful. If I can add this PVC drain line below the existing line then I will try to imitate what you did there.


John, I might end up drilling a hole if I can find someone to guide me through it. Once we remove the gas tank this weekend I will see how it looks inside. Fortunately weather calls for a dry couple of days ahead. The trailer has bunks, not rollers. It doesn't have keel rollers though...


Will post pictures of the process as it happens!
