| It's the first
leisure weekend on the boat this season and I'm outta gas and getting
hungry.
Time to lose the tiny tank and get a bigger one. Click below to check out the details of this project.

I've removed the small box, solenoid, and tank. I'm going to construct a new box using the parts from the old and re-install it with a standard garden variety propane tank like you'd find on any grill. Gotta love standardization. I must get this project right, failure could result in an exploding boat. Good thing I maintain high standards, and have plenty of experience with high and low pressure pneumatic systems. |

Thought I'd just buy one, but a quick search of the internet will discourage that, as the prices range anywhere from $300 - $800 with questionable quality judging by the remains of the one that came installed on my boat. I figure I can construct one for less than $100 that will last forever with minimal maintenance.

This is my inspiration.... Now I just have to learn how to sew. (been a year... still haven't learned how to sew) |

Boat repair? I'm trying to think, but nothing's happening.

I've
lived with the tiny gas tank for cooking on the boat for too long.
It's a 1980s era tank without the overfill protect valve. Everytime I
get it filled I have to do a song and dance to get anyone to touch it.
This season I've finally decided it's time to evolve. 
Here's
another one of those cheap projects I've been meaning to do for about 3
years; the cockpit table. 
Contrary
to what you might think, that is not a picture of the sun, it is a view of
the top of my bald head after a day in the sun. Time to construct a
bimini top for the cockpit area. The burn - peel - burn - peel cycle
must be broken. As long as I'm at it, might as well replace that worn
out old dodger too.... winch covers??? line bags??? helm
cover??? Oh boy, the ever expanding project... here we go again.
