84 fuel tank?

[Stillrunning]

The tank in my 1983 cc is located under the CC and holds 60 gallons.

Hey Ferm,

If your plan doesn't work out, I know a guy with an 84 Cuddy who could use a gas tank. ;D ;D ;D ::)

Ferm, I don't know if a tank from an 86 cuddy would fit or not, but there's one for sale right now in the "for sale" section of the forum. If I had the money, I'd buy it for myself just to have as an extra...

[Bygracealone]

duhhh.... You're the one who posted it there. My bad. :-[

Here's what I had in mind fellers. I have an 84 cuddy with a bad transom and floor(major repairs), but my tank is fine as well as many other parts. I found this one on Ebay about 3 hours from me needing a tank, was thinking this might get me on the water alot quicker, and I've been thinkin a center console would be alot more practical for my fishing needs. But I can't break away to go look at it before the auction ends :'(.

Just buy it site unseen, thats what I did. ;)

Maybe he won't get his reserve and you will get a chance to go check her out.


Or just buy it.

I'm rather cautious of the V-20's built in the mid 80's. EVERY single one I've went and looked at has had transom problems due to lack of sealing the transom.

Well, I guess I may not have to worry about a tank. It sold for $5100 to a guy in the U.K., this same guy also bought the other V-20 center console I was watching for $5995. I couldn't see spending more than $3500 for a 23 year old boat with a bad fuel tank myself. We'll see if the boats get relisted or not. Meanwhile, I found another center console with engine problems and no trailer for $1500.

Well it looks like I have a second chance at her, the deal with the guy in the UK fell through. I think I need to go take a look at it.
