Are they leaking now?


========================

No but the tops are badly rusted and they would not hold air pressure
during the survey testing. With full tanks and rough conditions there
is a high probability they could leak. The good news is that with
1,000 gallon fuel capacity we usually have no reason to run with more
than half tanks. They've got to get replaced before we head north in
the spring however. There appear to be three different approaches to
tank replacement: 1) Cut holes in the side or bottom of the boat; 2)
Cut up the interior wood work of the main cabin; or 3) Build 4 smaller
tanks to replace the 2 big tanks. I'm leaning towards door #3 at the
moment.
