Tm,

One of the first thigs i asked was, how much water was in there.

They told me out of 17 gallons, less than a half pint was water. They also told me that there no oder of fuel in the bilge at all, no fuel residue either. So i'm fairly confident that my tank is solid.

Also, i don't run plugs in y drain holes. I keep them open. Infact, i don't even have a bilge pump either. Not sure if this is good or not, but i've read here, and my marina is a factory authorized BW dealer (actually i beleive they are the oldest BW dealer in the Country) they tell me that the right way to store and run this boat is to not use plugs. Ihave been thinking though of putting plugs in it and installing a bilge pump though.
