it was an experience learning and reading the different ways other owners have used to remove their fuel tanks. But i do owe a bunch of thanks to my girl friend's dad who was a commercial fisherman and a boat builder. i was a bit worry about drilling through the tank and into the hull, but we we determine to get it out once and for all. As for why its removal. it was over 15 + years old and i didn't know how the PO had taken care of the boat. The aviator in me wanted a peace of mine, I want to zero time this boat as much as possible. so now i have nothing left in this boat, motors gone, wires removed, tanks out, all wood removed and ready to be sanded,and refinished, fuel lines out, bow rail off for cleaning and polishing. wire and cable ready to be picked up at west marine, and will start looking for a good deal on 60 gal fuel tanks. Again thanks everyone for your help and advice.
