Wow that is a real tight fit.Was that hole at the bottom the culprit?,it seems kind of big.Looks like you and your buddy had a fun afternoon.
Thoose are really nice rod holders did the boat come like that or are they aftermarket?.Mine are starting to fall apart and yours look really nice.
Good luck on your quest for a tank.
Nice job.

Kevin gets the credit for being in there all afternoon. I was only there about a 1/2 hour. Glad we got it out.

The "new one" is out there somewhere waiting for me to find it. I found this one for $129 ($212 after shipping) but it would mean a drop to 40 gallons.

It is tough to find a tank to fit near these dimensions. (44.74L X 31W X 11.5D). All of the 50-60 gallon tanks are longer (50+ inches).

Kevin,

This may too tight a fit, - It is 50 gallons.

Too tall.....looks like an irregular shape. It is 22" tall though and the current is only 11.5

Here is a possible.....Ocean Link is in Portsmouth RI. $335 for 50 gallon

That looks like it will fit nice.

There is also a guy in NJ that will make a custom tank to your unique dimensions. You just send him a drawing. He advertises in "The Fisherman" magazine. I can send you the details tonight.
