I've bought a poly tank that will sit down in the floor, and will glass a ply floor section above it. Thanks all for your advice :)
The current space there is 6' x 2' x 8". The rectangular aluminum tank fits in there with a little clearance on all four sides and doesn't rest on...
Really good point. I'll pull the sender again and the other access port for a better look. If I'm not able to get a really thorough look inside...
I pulledthe tank. It is virtually spotless inside and out. I don't know how. It also has the boat build date written on the bottom in paint...

Bummer figured as much. Say I get a new tank and set it an inch below the surface of the sides, what normally goes above the tank and how is it...

Understood. What should my approach to getting a flat floor be though?
Tank is aluminum. Motor is a 1990 Merc 175 2 stroke. Not super heavy but right near the limit of the spec once you consider the 10kg oil tank, and...
Hi I bought my first boat last year. I believe it's an 89 model. Structurally it's very solid but has suffered from a cheapskate owner who took a...
