Running the fuel hose under the engine isn't an issue, as long as it won't chafe on anything. Be sure to use A1 rated marine fuel hose, not automotive fuel hose.

VOILA! New floor, foam, carpet, storage, waxed... Ready? I think so!

Hey all, I have more I'm going to do with this thing, so stay tuned. I need to get some tunes, align and paint the trailer, and possibly someday a new paint job. I'm sure I'll come up with something else as well, who knows? So stay tuned!

In the meantime, it's walleye season! Now I need to find time for a splashdown!

Ahh, well... I cheated. I bought a boat that didn't need too much work! I have a great story about this particular launch though...
