Thank you, Yes, Thats my other job (or one of them) I am the Mumblefish bass player. I am actually a home builder by trade http://www.designbuildrealtycorp.com/  The Aquasport is used mostly on Cape Cod.

Excellent video and very good job.

I am restoring a 1976 170 with a 1980 70 hp Evinrude. How is your performance with your 70 hp..?

plenty of power as the boat is pretty light. Best thing though is the fuel Economy. Can be out all day on about 7 gals and still get home!

Where did you get the rubber straps for it? If anyone else knows let me know. I covered the metal straps with braided, clear pvc tubing. Is that okay as well?

I cut up an old truck mud flap into strips. very important not to let metal bands contact tank. I have seen others use clear plastic tube but I perfer flat rubber,

Even though you used 3 clamps on the fill line the clamps should be turned in opposite directions. Same way on the other hoses.
