Removing the fuel tank

Today with the help of Glenn and George, I pumped out the fuel tank and removed it from the boat. I would say this job was long overdue. It was fairly easy to remove once the fuel was pumped out and filtered.
Maybe about half an hour to get everything disconnected it and another half an hour for three people to heave it out.

I wasn't able to get a good picture of the portion of the bilge where it was sitting. It is a mess of rust sludge and chipped paint. Next trip I will clean things out and start figuring out how to cut out the bulkheads.
It feels good to have this ticking time bomb out of my bilge and start working towards a new tank.
