I'd personally stay with the side tanks. I always liked the idea of going out on one tank, and when it ran dry I knew it was time to head back in. Never ran out of gas that way.

I would like to locate some, but 1976 tanks are suspect. If I go the newer type, I will need all the filler and venting etc. Expensive to boot. But, it is a safe way to go with your method, you can almost forget about gas level and just run around and fish etc. thx

Back then my only choice was the 18 gallon. Probably the FT1894 (port).
There are 24 gallons that might fit in the location. Look at the diagrams and see if they might fit without major modifications.
There are some dimensional differences with the 24 gallon FT2495P (port) and FT2495 (port) as there are also in the FT2495-1 (starboard) and FT2495S Starboard. You gotta decide.

Here is a 30 gallon stuffed under my console. Its not as big as you think. This tank originally came on a carolina skiff. This one I belive can be used above or below deck.

What's holding that tank down? Looks like it'd go flying in heavy weather.
