Re: A Few Questions...
I have an 84 V20 and it has a 60 G aluminum tank. My tank is foamed in and I have installed a 24 G plastic tank that just fits in my live bait well. The reason for the 24 G tank is that the 60 leaks. The end of this season I intend pulling the 60 and either replacing it with a plastic belly tank or sealing the aluminum tank with Por 15 tank sealer. Antique car guys swear by the sealer and it is not effected by ethanol fuel. Car restorers like the sealer because "where are you going to buy a replacement fuel tank for a 1928 Pierce Arrow"? The sealer works with aluminum or steel tanks and costs about $150 for cleaner, etcher, and enough sealer for a 60 G tank! I will use the sealer if the 60 G tank isn't too far gone.

Re: A Few Questions...
Geek, I have a 84 cuddy that the fuel tank leaked. It was bad on the bottom and i had to pull it to see just how bad.
Find someone to make you another and use yours as a temp. I paid $325 i think for another 60 alum. and i'll never have to do it again. just my 2 thoughts

Re: A Few Questions...
Hammer, you should have a 60 too.
Check the brochures in the History section.

Re: A Few Questions...
Fuel guages are RARELY right on boats. I'm sure more than 50% are off. Why they can't make them as reliable as car fuel guages I'll never know.
Hammer, you almost definitely have 60 gallons. Fill er up! I'd bet on it! 8)

Re: A Few Questions...
I guess she is a 60 gallon. She the factory tank. Looked for a stamping on sticker showing the size with no luck.
Hope to fill her up this weekend and get a dive in.
