REPLACING BOAT FUEL TANK Filled with HOLES!! Back in Action!

[@jamescostello6529]

As a retired Coastie, thank you for doing the repair and doing it right. We don't give much thought to the little leaks and stuff here and there but it adds up with all the other boats and leaks. Everyone help keep out waterways clean, our fisheries preserved and most important of all things, Be Safe!

[@jamesschrader8193]

Hi really glad you made this video. I’m about to get a 49 or 50 year old Pennyan. It’s always been cared for and has already had the tank replaced just a couple years ago. If owner hadn’t taken such good care of it I would not even think about it. I remember the day he brought it home the first day. I looked it and now 40 some years later I can be the new caretaker:-) As you can tell I’m pretty happy about it. Moving to Florida next week and I don’t want to go with out a boat. I’m going to sell my HD springer because at 63 I feel I’m getting to old to go riding. Florida heat helps to make that decision much easier. Thank you for sharing your great videos, keep sharing I look forward to seeing them.

[@jeffreyrose46]

You and Victor...need to start a podcast with all angles of marine experience talked about. Girl your a natural at explaining things in a calm and sincere manner☺

[@brookcristoutdoors]

After 3 months our boat is back in the water and we're excited to take her out fishing and diving again!!

[@Cleviste08]

thats the first time ever being out of water, theres a first time or everything

[@AnthonyAngler]

three months!!! ugh I believe I may have the same problem

[@noel1933]

Brook give your Father a huge for me,, he did a great job raising you. you remind me soo much of my Daughter, she can handle any boat and loves fishing rod and bowfishing.

[@mjodr]

It's refreshing to see a boat shop actually do everything just right. Our shops around here suck ass. Guy even knew the density of the foam and that it was made just for installing fuel tanks.

[@iantuck6364]

I am glad you guys listened to advice from commenters about not using the boat until fixed. I was on board a small boat about the size of yours which caught fire due to a fuel leak. It didn't explode like you see in the movies but we emptied three fire extinguishers on it before realizing we could not contain the fire. It burned to the water line but we were not hurt. Only lost all our fishing gear and other stuff which we generally replaced; it was good we had insurance.

[@MarAgt]

Your boat looks fantastic for living in the water for 17 years.

[@kerrypitt9789]

You guys have done a beautiful job getting that tank installed. Those guys knew what they were doing!

[@Will-ol9lp]

I wanted to thank y’all for the education on fishing down here. I’m used to doing a lot of trout fishing and not to much ocean fishing so thank y’all for that

[@ikaikasrgnts8618]

I'm a fisherman here in Hawaii and just seeing how easily your dad poked holes into the tank gave me chills. It's ok if your car breaks down in the middle of the road but extremely dangerous if your boat breaks down in the middle of the ocean. Glad to see you had the whole tank replaced rather than just patching it.

[@po28der]

Glad you got the boat back up and running. It never ends with boats but I would not want to be without one.

[@sala6961]

how did they clean out tank area? pressure hosed? would've been nice to repaint area white again before the new tank was placed in? great repair and vid, thankyou from new zealand

[@nicholasdandrea565]

Saved yourselves a lot if headaches & many possible problems. Thanks to mother nature for causing you guys to fill the tank.

[@dirkswart8950]

I own a 2000 Edgewater 247 and unfortunately I'm starting to have to deal with the same problem. Thank you for giving the name of the tank manufacturer hopefully they will be able to make me a new tank.

[@rodneypratt4324]

Yes we need that cost of ownership video. I like this one and thank you very much good luck

[@iammee1111]

B.O.A.T Bust out another thousand!

[@eddyballester8990]

Great show, very informative. Good work by the crew. Thanks for their contact info. Favorite part of the show is seeing your wonderful relationship with your Dad... looking forward to viewing more of your shows. Blessings

[@marklapierre5629]

It fits like it was made to go there. It's good that you fixed it. Little leaks result in big fires not even considering the pollution that leaks create. I know, this was three years ago. Happy New Year!

[@drkyoto]

Never thought I would say this but that’s a good looking fuel tank.

[@brookcristoutdoors]

😂😂 it’s a thing of beauty now

[@drhambone1598]

BOAT = bust out another thousand All jokes aside, I'm glad you all got the boat fixed and water ready. Stay safe out there!

[@timcolgan1296]

Congratulations on what looks like a brand new boat 🚢.

[@slikrik6098]

Hi Brook thanks for taking us along.

[@raafeekhan7686]

that's what 40 years in the trade teaches you, to do a job easier.

[@skullhart]

Those guys did a great job

[@Dimongrl88]

I am so happy your boat is back in service!!

[@brookcristoutdoors]

Me too!

[@dougwilliams8602]

Best show on KZbin!!!

[@Eric-zs6rd]

Saltwater corrodes everything, even stuff that convention wisdom would think doesn't rust, and you can't keep it out of any compartment of the boat. Maybe it's water vapor. Even stuff I put in the console box which should be dry, stainless steel stuff, aluminum stuff, all starts corroding if I leave it in the boat a few months. Electrical connections corrode even if they're sealed and heat shrunk unless they're tinned. It's the harshest environment.

[@brookcristoutdoors]

Everything rusts in our console too! That salt just ruins everything!

[@captraykelly]

Good video. Big job for sure. Glad you will be fishing on it again soon.

[@petergerkens6045]

The new "heart" made her more beautiful and happier! Nice job and like this! :D

[@cornflake73]

It looks to me that HMS did a great job of making repairs. One never really knows how degraded something is till it is removed and inspected. I would say that you all were piloting a hazardous boat and didn't realize the danger one was in. Thank goodness that you were persuaded to do the repairs. The Boat is in proper condition now and safe. I am happy to see that. That first fill up is going to bite a bit $$$. Safe boating and have a wonderful time fishing. Yes I am interested in knowing about the expense of boat ownership in Florida. It isn't cheap here where I live.

[@rperezcorona]

Looks like it's my turn now. I reached out to Andrew at HMS today. I had a very pleasant conversation. So nice that I am not even going to shop around. He will be the one to ultimately replace my tank. Presuming the tank is the culprit. I am 99% sure it's leaking.

[@HoldFast-un2fc]

I know that had to be costly for sure. You could have saved the old tank and repaired for a lot less and got more use out of it. But one thing I would suggest is a wire from the tank going to a salt zinc and that is where the true pitting in the metal of boats comes from. There is other video that explains in more detail about zincs. Great video!

[@renemieres3362]

Good find and fix on your part. Don't wanna be offshore fishing and have a gas spill.

[@1divemaster1]

Great job guys. Very informative.

[@princessalways4eva]

I’d love to see a cost of owning a boat video. My husband and I actually want to purchase one and are doing research. These type of videos are icing on the cake. I love that yours and Viktor’s videos are both entertaining and educational. I’ve learned a lot from you two. Thank you for all that you do.💗

[@makoreyflorida6528]

lol boats are awesome you will love it. but. there just like babies constant attention and $$$$$$$

[@iammee1111]

Lots

[@paco1008]

Wish I knew you were back on the water ... I was in Ft. Lauderdale over the Holiday and me & the fam would have loved to stop by & say hello. Yes we did get out fishing 1 day and my boy caught 2 maks trolling ... weather was great. Glad to here you're back on the water!! Keep those videos coming.

[@chuckhenry407]

Great vid as always. Love them all. Yes on cost of ownership video. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work especially the catch and cook segments. I try to redo your recipes at home.

[@miladahmadi3934]

how lucky u are

[@SophisticatedRedneckery]

It always seems to be something. But so worth it. Great vid. Glad you got a new tank!!

[@Glifer0795]

The reason the tank corroded was because the foam was against the tank.. I’m a big advocate for putting in flotation foam in boats but around the gas tank is bad. The holes in the compartment were for draining water that made it into the fuel tank compartment. Even with the thicker aluminum and the powder coating on the tank, the water will still get into the compartment and not be able to drain out and dry. The foam will get water logged then hold on to water against the tank and corrode it out quicker than last time

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

"Get yer motor runnin', head out on the.... ocean". Well it doesn't really flow, but I'm sure you're anxious to get back out on the water. Now we get to see some more adventure videos.

[@stephendudley22]

Great vid and tons of great information. I'm about to replace the tank on my 17.5' Edgewater and that power wash tip will save me

[@nickrdgz9323]

Curious when and why did you re-power if you boat it not that old? I only ask because I'm on the fence about re-powering to a Suzuki as well.

[@teamseacts]

Nice job! Good timing on the replacement tank too! One point to consider next time - fill the boat up at a local (road side) gas station and save $1.00+ per gallon on the way back to relaunch.

[@retireeslife4013]

Yes brook . I'm retiring in January and moving to Englewood fl area. Would enjoy knowing more about your costs.

[@rperezcorona]

I woke up today to fuel leaking into the bilge on my 02 EW 245cc. I hope the hms team is still available and can do the job. Although, they will need to cut the floor :(

[@jorgecruz9344]

Awesome video. Just for future reference I re did my tanks also and was told not powder coat the tank if it was going to sealed in with foam. I was told use “coal tar epoxy”. Can’t wait to see more videos

[@jamahrex57harry70]

U a bless i love ur little garden

[@keranramdayal5701]

Beautiful boat

[@mftoutdoors7483]

Love it. Boat came out great.

[@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445]

Happy to see you back at Sea 👍👍🎣🐟🎣🐟😎

[@davidraines2873]

All ways best to be cautious. My daughter saw a boat on fire a couple months ago off the coast of Mississippi and called the Coast Guard Everyone got off but could have been bad. Stay safe. I like your channel

[@RyanMorie]

We want the cost of owning a boat video! TBH I watch anything that Brook makes 😃

[@jameswilliams2814]

Very good information Brook.

[@studioo3]

Happy you guys didn't have to purchase a new boat

[@GnadFlea]

Noooo!!! Brooke, if you don't want to see a your Daddy cry, you *won't* make that "How much it costs to own a boat", video. A couple of hundred here and there is common place....its when you start totaling up all the receipts that he gets the far away look in his eyes... and then the tears start falling. Trust me on this one! ..just trying to help. 😆

[@JR03321]

Cost of owning a boat is not bad as long as it doesnt start breaking down lol. Other than that its just fuel, bait and food times how many time a month you go out lol. For me its about $400 a Month taking it out every week between june to sept and i have a 17 seapro lol.

[@williamdelossantos9739]

Woot...woot....good to see its back..

[@anthonyyarnell2785]

Nice job, very interesting to follow along.

[@AJOutdoors1]

Great video, if you want to own a boat, you have to maintain the boat.

[@stephenfleming7918]

Hey Brooke. I’ve had three boats from 19 feet up to 30 feet I never had to change a tank. Thank goodness! This didn’t look like a lot of fun. Last two boats had MerCruiser I/0’s. You folks seem to have a lot of luck with outboards. Maybe I’ll try going that way next time.

[@brookcristoutdoors]

Get rid of them before you have to replace the tank! 😂

[@Mike70359]

Great informative video. 👍

[@rashidjamil9524]

Nice work,

[@JAY-CRA]

I can’t wait until y’all get back to all that fishing grind 🤙🏿

[@markhong9955]

Wait, where is the cooking portion? Where is Brook's Dad saying it's the best of whatever Brook made he has ever had?

[@The3DPrintingWarrant]

Great video. Would like to know how much it cost to keep a boat

[@goodkarmasportfishing5053]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing some wahoo slays!

[@SOFLOHOOKER]

Pops is gonna need his own channel soon. 🙌👌

[@makersmark88]

We leave our boat in the water as well. I would advise you to use a fuel product of your choice. I use fuel medic. It keeps the moisture down. It also treats the gas and keeps the side of the tank from filming up.

[@hookednrolling2009]

Keep tank full when in storage and use rec fuel no problem and don’t use foam my tank was 38 yrs old when started leaking no foam use 2” wood strips and rubber insulator on bottom and sides and fiberglass the fuel tank compartment JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐟🐠🎣🌴🛥⛱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ld5954]

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I think a video about the cost of owning a boat would be very helpful to potential buyers! Great idea!

[@douglasrodriguez8116]

Thing is thentank has a level reader (connects to fuel gauge) and the gauge is grounded to the tank sooo u have current running thru the tank as well with the salt water u have electrolysis going on with bare aluminum

[@joemorrow8411]

Good Video 👍👍

[@pantexanpantexan7860]

How much did the tank cost ? How much to have the tank replacement done by the shop ?

[@maryc7830]

Brook you were literally so close to my house when you were in New England. I’m glad you got a new tank for your boat.

[@markmorgan5892]

That silver cigarette boat that was in the back ground that said 1080HP on the side of it is Stu Jones’s!! He is the president of the Florida Powerboat Club! Yeah that poker run was the biggest one that FPC does, which is the Key West Poker Run and they do it right after FLIBS. But he did an amazing job on ur guys tank!! Looks very very good! Why don’t u guys get a lift for ur boat and get it up out of that salt water? There isn’t a chance in hell that I would leave my boat sitting in salt water 24/7/365!!

[@guybever8935]

Looking forward to new videos on the boat. Lucky it didn't blow up from the fumes.

[@ORELLANO80]

Great job guy's 👍

[@BroadBillHunter]

cheers ! back to fishing

[@pravinalex7405]

Hi Brook, Boat is back sounds good, love from India ❤👍

[@melvinrawlings1457]

New subscriber here. Great job on replacing the tank. The only thing I would of did differently is while u had the tank out before installing the new one I would of def painted it after doing the new fiberglass in thay area. Idk why u didn't but I would have. Other than that I love what u guys do on ur channel. And look forward to the upcoming videos. Anyways much love to yall from Maryland❤❤❤.

[@DonBrinkman]

What was the cost of the fuel tank, what was the cost of labor of installation?

[@thon2ny]

How about brook indoors? Film your pets o just Vlog a day with brook... ❤️ From a Filipino fan here in Taiwan.. ✌️

[@juancollazo4424]

I’m interested in a ownership cost video that would be great!

[@lourod9452]

You should be in Philadelphia!

[@flash_gordon-97]

great video!

[@TexasJungle]

Great info and video! Thank you for sharing! I’m a small KZbinr and watching this motivates me to keep it going!

[@jayfishingparadisesingapor6942]

You looked cute with the bunny tooth😍👍🙏

[@37pmol]

It's a good thing ya'll got that fixed, safety first, cause on the water Murphy's law is real (what can go wrong Will!) Great vid

[@rhinely850]

Glad you weren't 50 miles offshore when you found it leaking! Curious why not replace with a stainless steel tank?

[@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445]

Pin holes are #1 of Calling Sea Tow or Boat Us. Or More dangerous situations 👍👍👍

[@JohnnyRizon]

great video, i have a 2001 identical edgewater to this, and will be doing a gas tank at some point- curious how much the tank itself cost?

[@The_Authority]

I'm considering buying a bowrider. I'd love to see a video about the cost of ownership.

[@captofthe7279]

Does a good job but every mechanic takes forever lol nice work

[@3006Ave]

Brook, how much did it cost replacing boat fuel tank?

[@skullhart]

it was $7,000 which isn't a bad deal really

[@JAY-CRA]

I would like to know about the ins and outs about owning a boat please

[@brucesantos5566]

Filler up and...FISH ON!

[@longhorn44jc]

My compliments again. I never thought about finding a fuel tank interesting, but I watched the whole video. It was also interesting to learn the age of the boat. Talk about getting good use out of something! Your conservation extends beyond eating all of the fish you catch. With your increasing fame, perhaps you can buy a new boat.

[@hbahba7777]

wow that's so beautiful

[@txhypnotist]

Your dad and your family have really gotten full use out of that boat. Replacement of a tank that's 17 years old is just considered general maintenance due to salt water corrosion over or in water. Yes for "Non-Boat" Owners. I would say a boat cost rate might be a great video. Single engine, dual engines or triples. = 5k, 10K, or up to 50K pending the HP. For every Mile per Hour over 60 MPH, the cost is 25K per mile in hour gained, That's only up to 100MPH, then it's astronomical cost. For boats under 47 feet.

[@SneakyPeteNJ]

I am not looking forward to having to do this. But it is part of boat ownership. Did you give a ball park cost of this replacement tank and labor?

[@faroukmorales4291]

How much was the fuel tank replacement?

[@clevjam]

Brook, Maybe it's time to add a second motor now that you have the fancy new tank. Sea tow is expensive!

[@kljahnz]

awsome content, thanks for the vid!
