Hi guys,

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving :) This is only my second-ever Thanksgiving, and it'll be the first one with turkey, so color me excited! I figured I'd publish this video a day early to help fill the gap from now until the parades and sports fun start ;)

In this week's video, I start digging into the interior of the hulls, removing the diesel tank and a mountain of old cables. I also ordered stainless steel from SendCutSend to make a new anchor roller and test whether I can use the paint I plan to use (two-part paint vs. one-part paint).

In real-time, I'm in Michigan with Ava and her family. It's so nice to escape the heat in Florida (although it's gotten a lot better in the last month). Even after spending the previous two years in hot climates, I'm undoubtedly built for colder weather. A nip in the air and a nice flannel shirt make Mads a happy boy :)

I better see if there is anything I can help with in the kitchen :) Have a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much for your support!:)

Hi Mads - John here from SV Ginger (you stayed with us during boat show week last year). Regarding the fuel tanks - On our previous boat which was a 1987 Sabre, we replaced the aluminum fuel tank in 2018 due to pinhole corrosion in the bottom of the tank that resulted in leaks. We attribute the issue to the fact that the bottom of the tank was in contact with moisture - so maybe that's not an issue in your case as your video shows they were suspended in the hull. The leaks happened after a rough passage when the sludge at the bottom of the tank that was plugging the tiny pinholes was dislodged. We contacted Sabre and were able to purchase a drop in replacement tank from the OEM aluminum fabricator. I forget the cost but it was less than expected. Suggest to consult Antares if you decide to replace, and thoroughty clean the tanks and do a leak test if you decide to replace. See you!

Everlast Welders often works with content creators. Hit them up. Even if you can get one at 50% off as an influencer that would be worth exploring. I did leave you a link in Discord "Wishlist recommendations" too.

I actually reached out to them a couple of weeks ago. Complete radio silence - I'm guessing that's a big old "no thank you" :)

Hi John :) I'm glad we at least ran into you guys at the boat show this year - I'm sorry we didn't make it to your party :) I was very pleasantly surprised when the fabricator up the street (with a good reputation) quoted me $650 per tank, so I ordered two new ones. I thought it was going to be double that, at least! Fresh, new, clean tanks with proper inspection ports - a life in luxury ;)
