        Tubs thanks for posting those pictures!   That is so cool, it’s all about the memories.  Time stops for no one but it would be nice if we could slow it down just a little!

        sincerely, dale

          Thanks for your story, Tubs.  The photo of the old camp being demolished is heartbreaking.  At least the camp they built is not too garish. I’m glad you’ve gotten to enjoy that pond all these years. its clear to me that you appreciate it in all the right ways.  I don’t have a house on the water but I get to spend time on lots of Maine ponds, lakes, and rivers.  I feel so lucky to live here.  Come to one of our meets when you are here this summer.  -DK

              I have been working on the gas tank(s) in my motor. I am pretty sure that the tank that was on it is not original. It also has a lot of body filler on it so is only suitable for painting.

              I got another tank from Bob Sturtevant at last weeks Pine Tree meet that is cleaning up nicely.  It had a few dents, most of which I was able to improve.  It will look great with decals.

              The tanks are very similar except for the height dimension.

              Does anyone have any idea if A-35 used two different tanks?

                I’m not that knowledgeable when it comes
                to the Johnson’s.

                A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

                  In my experience,all A thru A-25 tanks were approx 3 1/4” while A-35,A45 were approx 4”

                    I’m going to mark these tanks as suggested
                    by Stanly.

                      I decided I would try and salvage the “original” tank so stripped it down to bare metal and bondo.

                      You can see the tank with the bondo removed and after the first round of heating and hammering. Some places responded to low pressure inflation.

                      Progress.

                        Well even if it doesn’t look beautiful when you’re done,
                        at least it will hold more gas!……… that’s what
                        I always tell myself during dent removal.
