My little boat trip

20 gallons!???I'm wondering if your tank is not "perforated" all over and the tank coffin is the only thing holding the gas in.

I bet the tank has a hole in it some place. You can get it pressure tested to see were.
That tank will be 60 gal at most, they never had a bigger one in a V unless someone replaced with a custom one, but I would say no one ever did in this one.

When I got my boat the tank did not work, after draining and adding water with degreaser I rinsed it well and used a shop vac to suck out rest of water and anything else. let dry for a day in the sun, refilled and been fine till this day!

NO NO NO I HIT THE 0 By accident It was ment to say 2 gallons of water not 20 lmao.

I would bet the farm that you have a 60 gallon tank.

even 2 gallons seems like a TON to me! If the boat did fill with water it could have seeped in around the sending unit? I would check all hoses and reseal sending unit...also replace O-ring on cap

...or check to make sure the fill cap has a rubber o-ring seal. My buddy's boat kept getting water in the fuel. Finally found that the o-ring had fallen off (or never been there to begin with) and that fixed it.

Also check your vent if water is coming in thru it. I had to relocate the vent to the inside on my 250 Sportsman. Kept getting water, and just happened to look over and see the vent would get slapped with a wave. Cut the vent hose and rerouted it that trip. You should have seen the water puking out the cut hose from the vent.
