Assume the tank and everything below deck has been taken care of as good or worse as the easy to get to/easy to clean and maintain parts above deck.
Then go back and look at your first pictures in this thread.
Rotted fuel tanks are one of the common problems on V20's which were a massed produced vessel. Yours was built during the roaring economy of the Carter years.
Personally I wouldn't trust a 35-36 year old tank built by the lowest bidder and installed in a marine environment with questionable care from the previous owners.
I still think you got an awesome deal!
