Gas Tank
OK guys I finally started in on tearin out the fuel tank and WOW its got alot of foam in there!!! I am not all the way down yet, but is was pretty water logged as it has been covered for the last year,but sat open for at least 5 before that. The thing that suprised me was all the room in there with only the 46 gallon tank. :o It has enough room in front of the tank for at least another 30-40 galons in front of the existing tank. I might be looking to either add a tank or try to upgrade to larger all together. It just depends on the condition of mine when I get all the way to it. I am about half way down now, but I got alot more foam to bust out...
Will update again soon.... ;D

Re: Gas Tank
Hope the budget will allow larger tank to fill all that space... :D

Re: Gas Tank
No idea what the impact would be, but the additional weight forward from a bigger or another tank would have to impact the overall trim of the boat.

Re: Gas Tank
I am sure it would,but they came with um a couple years later,so I cant see why it would be detrimental. ??? It is a pretty big boat for only 46gallons..I mean I am running an 18 Wellcraft Sport now and it has a 40 gallon tank.

Re: Gas Tank
GO FOR IT 8)
The extra weight will be in the best possible place and will only be there when it is full, anyway.

Re: Gas Tank
BTW, WATERLOGGED FOAM DOESN'T FLOAT A BOAT.
How did it get that way??

Re: Gas Tank
The guy I got it from let it sit out for about five years *in the weather. :o I hate it when people dont take care of boats...didnt he know boats aint suppossed to get wet...Geeez. LOL
Everything else on the boat is VERY solid, just the foam has some moisture in it is all.

Re: Gas Tank
Your 1st post said the foam was "pretty waterlogged".
That should not be - under any normal use or storage conditions. You need to find out how the water got into your foam and correct that avenue of intrusion.
