Welcome back aboard good old Spiffy—our 44 ft hurricane-damaged Antares 44 / PDQ catamaran. This week I did a bit of boat surgery to get our old water tanks out, which meant cutting an access opening in the main bulkhead instead of demolishing the entire head module. The tanks are hung from a top flange (great design… until the fasteners you need are two miles away), and I quickly discovered my arms were about two centimeters too short. After some above-average frustration (and a little Danish vocabulary), an extendo doohickey saved the day and I finally wrestled the starboard tank out—two hours of real-life wrestling for something that looks easy on camera. Once the first tank was out, the corrosion confirmed what we’d already seen inside: it had done its duty. Over on the port side, things went smoother thanks to better access and the fact that this tank wasn’t submerged when Spiffy partially sank—so it looked surprisingly serviceable. I still grabbed measurements and got quotes for replacements: about $1,300 for welded PPH plastic and $1,500 for aluminum, which is honestly better than I feared. I also removed our one surviving eyebrow in nice weather so we can either repair it or use it as a plug for a mold, and I started prepping the workshop to make room—because apparently I enjoy making tight spaces even tighter.
