my 1975 had the saddle bags and they were still perfect when I sold it a few years ago.
I had 3 tanks, saddle bags were 20 gal each and I had a plastic tank were the engine use to be that was 25 gal.

My boat came originaly with the Inca tank i mentioned before. The tank tag has a manufacturer date of 1990, so it has to be original.

Hi NOTHINGELSEMATTERS,
Your V20 is a 1990 V20 Sport Cuddy. I don't know about your boat and the fuel tanks or where they are located in the 1990 V20 Sport Cuddy. I have a 1984 V20 Cuddy. The the Inca tank in your boat (F06008) will not fit in my V20. I am not saying that the Inca tank you have is not correct for your boat, I am saying that it will not fit in my boat without raising the floor or making a custom floor hatch over the tank. Also, I am not saying that the Inca tank will not fit captpete13's V20. The location of captpete13's original fuel tank in the pictures appear to be in the same location as my boat. However, the dead rise angle of the deep V hull at the transom to about amidships of the V20 (about 23 degrees) has not changed since Raymond Hunt, (the naval architect that designed the V20) originally designed the boat. I am not trying to be argumentative, just trying to give everyone the benefit of my unpleasant fuel tank experience's with my 1984 V20 Cuddy! Geek

Hi MJ,
I may be wrong but, the problem with V20 fuel tanks corroding did not effect saddle tanks because they were not in the bilge and I don't think they were foamed in. As I understand it, the foamed in 60 gallon tanks corroded from the outside-in due to trapped bilge water penetrating the foam and corroding the outside of the tank. Geek

No real progress since the pics. We have been so busy winterizing I haven't had the motovation to do anything. Its amazing,we had been steady but not busy winterizing for a while. Right after Thanksgiving it went nuts. Now everyone wants out. I guess I will take it while I can get it. After I get some Christmas shopping done I should be able to make more progress on the boat. But for now I am a winterizing robot. Fog the motor,change gearlube,grease,nontox nontox nontox.... Next
