Are you two for real?
Or is this just a TF spoof gone viral.
I am beginning to suspect the latter.
So I am out for now.
I think this is a thoroughly enjoyable thread. It's like a reality show...what's going to happen to those crazy kids next?!? And then we get to debate and offer advice on how to fix it! This is great.
You got an old, relatively inexpensive boat and you can do a lot of the work yourself. Good for you! Have fun with it!

I wish I had something to contribute but since I don't all I can do is talk about our stuff and make fun of ourselves.

That's because of the rather strange convention in the US, where you call what we call petrol, (derived from petroleum), gas, when clearly it is not a gas. What we call gas, you have to call propane or butane to make clear what you mean. At least we all call diesel, diesel.
Oh my goodness, such bait.Very good, so what what do you call erasers?
Mechanic was there for about 5 hours today.

We figured we could buy a relatively cheap boat and have fun fixing her up and making her our own or we could have spent twice as much and still would have to put money in it to make it our own. At least this boat the interior is all done and to my liking. Every other boat we looked at going up to $100k I would have spent a ton of money redoing the interior. As a woman, the interior was very important to me. Lol
Given this is our first boat that's not trailerable, we figured this was a good place to start. And most importantly, we don't buy things if we don't have the cash to pay for it. If we sunk the boat tomorrow it would suck, but it wouldn't cause any financial hardship. And another thing, it gives us something to DO.

I also think at some point you may be able to offer advice from your experience, lessons learned the hard way. Maybe one like "next time we'll get a survey." I don't know. Just keep it coming.
Oh and we did ask him to check to see if water cold have gotten in from a leaky fuel cap or whatever you call it.
He checked it out and said the gasket or o-ring or whatever you call that thing was in good shape. Not dry rotted, not broken, and appears to be sealing when you tighten the cap and he does not at all think that could be the source of the water.
And my own aside to my hubby...considering your state of inebriation last night when you made your post, it was quite legible and made sense....good job! I'm proud of you....
I am drafting up the plans to modify the fuel system to include water separation and draining equipment. This upgrade will probably be installed within the next couple of months.

BTW, did post 54 take you back a year to when your existence was challenged?
Good Luck on the big weekend, I know when I first got my boat I could not wait for holiday weekends
