1976 master angler fuel tank dimensions
 

Hi y'all I'm new to this site. I just picked up a new to me 1976 20 master angler. I'm looking for the original 40 gallon fuel tank dimensions. There is an aftermarket 25gallon tank in there now but I plan on replacing it over the winter and also re-doing the transom and putting a Suzuki 140 4stk on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows of a good tank maker in the CT/RI/MA area ease let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have the same boat. A 60x23x7 1/2" tank will fit nicely in there and hold 42 gallons. The tank coffin is about 23 1/2" wide at the bottom (it's a little wider at the top) and 10" high. My coffin is 95 inches long --there was a small storage area forward of the tank underneath the built in console seat. Hope that helps!

Awesome thank you very much. What do you have for power? Just curious and what your range is with that tank and power.

I only have 12 hours on a Yamaha F150, but so far, I have been making the same 26-28 mile run and using about 5.5 - 6 gallons. I'm only using a temporary tank at the moment until I get things figured out, but I think I am going to go for no more than 40 gallons when the time comes for something permanent. Even at 3 MPG, that's more than enough range for my uses.

Does your boat still self bail with the yami on the back? I still have the original Johnson 140 seahorse on the back and the boat self bails with the holes that drain straight down. I want to re-power over the winter and fill in the drains and have it self bail out the sides rather than straight down. i'm also going to raise the transom 5 inches so I can put a bigger motor on the back. I'm just nervous about the added weight. The boat rides so well with the old 78 Johnson I've even thought of completely re-building it and leaving it on. Let me know your thoughts.

Redo it. Move the tank forward, raise the floor, batteries under console, and it will handle a four stroke and still self bail. Look thru the repairs section, I redid a 77' MA and posted pics or rebuild.

You are only gonna self bail w the lighter older motor you have on it now.

That's prolly what I will do thanks for the advise I appreciate it.
