Did you have any issue with the the resin getting too hot while pouring it in?

Thank you. that is along the lines of what i was thinking. getting both tanks out will be easy. but getting the one back in wont happen after the work is complete. i have been watching some videos from boat works today like someone recommended and i think i can take care of this project

So I was finally able to remove the one gas tank. My plan is to cut the large piece out that is between the tanks only on one side Leaving a lip. Then get all the old wood out. I found a local place that sells marine grade ply wood. Then put a layer of 1708 on the plywood. Install the plywood...

at the end of last summer I bought a 1996 268 islander. Over the winter I started looking more into the boat. I have started to see things with the boat I did not see when I bought it. I have attached photos of 2 of the issues I have found. I was wondering if they are big issues I need to fix...
