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. Carl

Whale, If I were you I wouldn't drop down to 40 gallons. I spent about 500 bucks and had a custom tank built. It's three times as thick as the factory tank so hopefully it will be the last one my V20 needs. I also did a better install job than the can of expanding foam. I glued 12 2X4's to the hull with 5200 with a wide channel between them in the bottom of the bilge. I then covered the tops of the 2X4's with 5200 and set the tank on top. I hope I never have to remove it because it probably won't want to come out! The 2X4's are pressure treated and the tank has plenty of room around it to allow water to drain away and breathe. When washing down the boat I pop the deck plates off and can rinse any saltwater or other crud off the tank. Just my 2 cents !

The first tank I removed I used a prybar to chip away the foam and then hoisted the tank out with a car jack and a chain. The tank sticks to the foam on the bottom and breaking that seal is really tough. I can remember trying to crank it out with a board across the gunnel and watching the sides of my liner flex. The second one I filled with water and cut with a battery operated reciprocating saw and yanked it out with a come along strapped to a tree branch. Both times it was a pain. I'm glad to see you got yours out safely.

My bilge stunk like an open sewer after I pulled the factory tank out. Must have been years worth of bilge crud and fish slime down there.
