Story of my life. At least when it comes down to painting it does.

Looking good...

I'm sure there are more "correct" ways but i normally sand the aluminum with 400 grit on a d.a. sander then wipe it down with lacquer thinner then use the mercury primer in the spray can and whatever paint. (in the spray can)

Like I said i'm sure there are far more correct ways but its quick, easy, and it works. Its kept the paint on the gearcase at 120mph+ as good or better than the time consuming more correct methods I've used in the past.

after I see how that thing performs I may have to sell my boat and buy one like that for my motor....

Sweet! I love setting up boats like that. Nothing like the planning and then seeing all come together.

Here's a suggestion for that gas tank that I did with mine. I built a 3/8 inch plywood box just large enough to fit over my 12 gallon gas tank. It has a removable tray on top with 2 inch sides that doubles as another place to hold tackle boxes, lures, etc. I used aluminum angle iron to keep it in place so the tank doesn't move around. Great way to recoup some of the space lost from the tank.

nice idea plus it would keep tank out of sunlight and make a good extra seat

Yep, tank lasts forever this way. It sure can be used as an extra seat. I also cut "viewing" holes in two sides of the box to try to see the gas level, but it's still pretty hard to see the level inside the tank. No biggie though, 12 gallons lasts me several trips.
I run the gas line under the flooring to the back.
