Cool

For exactly the reasons just mentioned by MJ I completely replaced all the hoses on my tank when I refoamed my hull a few months ago. It's cheap insurance against present and future leaks. Since you have your tank out I'd take it to a tank shop and have it pressure tested to make sure there are no leaks along seams or pinholes. I wouldn't put it back in unless I was 100% sure it was sound.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

When i pulled the tank from the 18 Fisherman i thought it was good. It had corrosion where the foam was but i didn't think it was too bad. Until i took a nail and started scraping the corrosion off revealing holes. Here is the post where i posted pics of the tank.
