    Thanks, Richie. After removing the cover, siphoning out most of the gas and inspecting the aluminum tank, it is really in pretty good shape. Very little pitting and not much grunge at the bottom.

    Replacing 1983 Seafarer floor/gas tank

    Holy cow. :jaw In looking for info on replacing the gas tank in my '79 Overnighter, I found this thread. I know my transom has rot, based on the water that leaked out when drilling to install planing tabs. It is still stiff, but rot is rot. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but does anyone...
