Boat projects

On the theme of boat projects.

Pulled out the caravan water tank I had fitted and replaced with a 180litre fuel and 90 litre hdpe water tank.

Brings total fuel to about 750, and saves carrying 9 jerries on a long trip.

As the saying goes, the only time you have too much fuel on a boat is when its on fire.

 Yeah.... Sort of haha! The barcrusher I just purchased has a shitty kill tank in it, its so small its pointless. I wanted to look at the possibility of making it into a tank or even some how having it join the existing tank. Like I said just exploring possibilities a the moment but my budget might hinder my dreaming hahaha

Which?

Which one?

Made both, ally one, ordered 4mm 5083, went to pick up the sheet and all the stock they said was 5083 was actually 5005 or 5051.

So they gave me a 5mm instead, bit of overkill.
