Gas tank
 
Wellcraft V-20 Steplift 1979, Does anybody know tank capacity and dimensions ? And any good source to get a replacement tank.

Mine holds 60 gallons in my '79 Center console. It was just replaced when I bought the boat but unfortunately I don't know who made it. I just know it's black coated aluminum.

I can't quite make out the 1979 specs but the 1978 and 1980 Cuddy list a 46 gallon tank. The Fisherman's of those years list a 60 gallon, like Squids said.

I'd expose the top of the tank, take measurements and see what size you may be comfortable with.

Moeller has many to choose from, look at these in the 50 to 75 gallon range.
Pick the one of interest, click on "description" and then "diagram" for real dimensions.

Shop places like Jamestown Distributors, West Marine, iBoats and even Amazon.
Or simply do a search, for instance with the 60 gallon tank. "Moeller 032560".

RDS in perry Florida probably made the original, they have a web site or u can call them.

If you do find a data plate, it probably says AFP, but they became RDS.

Shipping might make it too expensive .

I always thought that it was 46 gallons, but looking at the brochures posted here they all say 60 gal. I started uncovering it yesterday and I honestly don't think is a 60 gal tank, it didn't even go all the way forward as to the hatch size, it's about 16 inches shorter. Any ways, I'll be happy with around 40 Gallons, Anyways I seldom go to Bimini any more.....

RDS, 40 GAL: $450.00, 55 GAL: $600.00

I think I can get it custom made here in Miami by Sunshine Tanks in around $600.00, 55 gal

Someone else had one made recently by Sunshine I believe.

Center consoles went to 60 gallons long before cuddy's did. Don't think cuddy's did until 81/82 era.

I was looking at Moeller"s tanks and I think the 52 or the 55 gallons fit, will know for sure this weekend.

Be careful on the moeller, somebody put one in and the fill & vent were facing the wrong way, ended up with intake toward the bow and fill toward the stern. Not saying they don't make the right one, just double check before you commit
