Jumped right into it? I'd say so....jeezus..... I have to replace my fuel tank (which I have) and re-do my fuel tank hatch sometime between now and next april and already I am saying to myself "well if I start in early march I'll be good for April"
Hope the work picks up for you....

thanks guys. I work on it a little bit every night or so after work. Its a warn dry shop and we have a well stocked marine store that I get a "cost plus 10%" discount at. Even still a gallon of west epoxy/hardner is around $90. I might end up using resin for a lot of this project instead. I figured if I cut the floor out now I wouldn't be able to put it off to next year. I also want to replace my gas tank. My original tank had a hole in it. I have been using a 37 gal loaner tank which has worked fine but I would like a little more capacity. Moeller has a 55 gal plastic tank for half the price than I can get an aluminum one made. If you need a hand with your hatch let me know. I have a month to kill. Otherwise I will just be sitting around the house watching cartoons.

Hi Captpete,
The 55 gallon Moeller I presume is a belly tank?? It will fit front to back depending on what V 20 you have. (I have an 84 v20 OB cuddy) It will not fit under your floor hatch due to the deadrise of the V20, (about 22 degrees) and the angle of the Moeller belly tank is about 12 -15 degrees. I did not find a ready made belly tank that would fit under the floor over about 30 - 40 gallons due to the deep-vee deadrise angle and the belly tank bottom angle. If you need 60 gallons of fuel, the only way is to have a custom aluminum tank fabricated. An aluminum 60 gallon exact v20 replacement tank can be fabricated for about $500-$600. (In NJ) The replacement tank drawing with exact dimensions is somewhere on this website!! Do a search on "fuel tanks". Geek
