I thought because of availability it would be a drop in, but nooooo.
Daddy , the whole time saying, "snatch both of them out and put a surface tank on the floor". I'd prefer to have the floor uncluttered, at least this way I gained a little room near the rodholder and didn't sacrifice but 2 gallons in doing so.

Nice job...I was faced w/same problem back in '99 when I did mine...talked to Wellcraft and they were pretty stern about not tryin' to add belly-tank to my '74 hull...so I took another route and went from 40 to 80 gal capacity
![]() 40 gals under each seat box...still haven't blown my *** up!!...

Thanks, sweetness.
Just did one, didn't see the need fix what wasen't broke yet. And reel, yours is the way to go if more than 36 gallons is needed. I don't intend going farther than 15 miles offshore. To the sound is 15 miles from the house. So figure a reach of about 45 miles and back.

Yes I like that very much!! But my tanks had covers on them to hide the tanks and to protect them.
I would want to cover the plastic tank for sure, just for protection! when full of gas they are more flexable then empty and I would not want to see it get punctured! Some how? Mine was coverd in 3/8 startboard, worked perfect! Could even ciut a window to still be able to see the gas level!!

I was curious just how UV sensitive they might be.
Most likely I'll have to shield the tank from the light and possible damage. A cover will be in the near future!!
