87 V20 fisherman
It just so happens I have the exact same model as yours. I had to replace the tank in mine a few years back. I'll try to find where I put the pics later. There is a removable hatch under the console and extending back behind the pedestal seats. It is sealed with caulk. To remove it you first have to lift the console up. This was sealed with something much stronger, but I was able to slide a razor knife along the edge to cut it. After removing the hatch you are looking at the entire fuel tank. This allowed for easy, (not really it was foamed in) removal of the tank for replacement. I had an exact duplicate made at sunshine tank fabrication, coated it with coal tar epoxy, and reset it and foamed it in. It looks like someone probably hacked up the edges of the console trying to remove the hatch. If you like I can get some pics for you or if you have anything I can help you with please let me know....
