Bought a 1966 model 19'tr with outboard. Under bow tank is missing. Original owwner told me it was pie shaped. Does anyone know dimensions and capacity of original tank? Found 19 gallon plastic tank in catalog resembling this shape. Let me Know!

My 1966 Seacraft is a 19" deep V bow rider with a walk through windshield. Looks like the one featured on this sight under 19 footer (it has LA registration number on bow) except it is not an I/O.
I need more than a tank. It has some "whisky" bumps here and there. I have the top cap off and the sub floor ready to come out. The transom is rotten and I suspect a cracked stringer possibly. While I'm into it I will check it all out and fix it right.

David... Welcome..I have a 19 Bow Rider and my doesn't have a bow tank it never did.I think that they added the bow tank on yours. My tank is located between the seats, mid ships and it's a 28 gallon tank..

The starbard side has the fuel line fiberglassed in from bow to stern. Dry storage area tank may have been optional for us coonasses. ;-)

Got new transom in. Put floor and cap back on. Measured and cut pattern tank from plywood. Came out to 40" Port to Stbd. x 19" bow to stern and 14" deep. Had to cut 10" x 10" right triangle from bow side corners to be able to install and remove with boat together. Capacity is 40 Gallons. Final aluminum tank fits like socks on a rooster. 1 more inch either way (width, length or depth)and I would not be able to get it in place.
