<div>I am happy to report that I successfully launched the "Sea
Ya'll" a Morgan 383 #33 this past Friday. I purchased the boat
(formally "Second Whim")last October from Jim Johnson and have
never had it in the water as an owner until now. I hope changing
the name is not bad luck. I am new to boat ownership but not to
sailing as I have bareboat chartered for years on boats of
similar size. As as I prepare her for the season and dig further
into her bowels I am amazed at how integrated the various tanks
are into her structure. I saw the recent comments on water tanks
and that seems manageable but the holding and fuel tanks seem to
be so built in that if they ever failed it would be nearly
impossible to repair or replace them. This would also include
the holding tank hoses wherever they are. The tanks seem to be
in good shape now but may not always stay that way. I looked on
the board for previous discussions on this subject an could not
find anything. Any details would be appreciated.I love the boat and can't wait to spend the summer on Lake
Michigan.
