I replaced my gas tank on my 1977 23’ when I did the whole boat. I found pit marks about ½ the way through the aluminum tank where salt water was held next to the tank by the foam. I also found that the wood support under the gas tank was totally rotten and was in need to be replaced. You will only know about your tank if you pull the whole thing out to inspect it. The places that could be damaged would be on the sides of the tank and the bottom plus the plywood deck that holds it in place. I used the David Pascoe method of re installing my new tank and if you take it out that method is the best I know to replace it. You also could have the tank pressure tested to see if I still good. For me I didn’t want to spend all this time re doing a boat and then have to go back and replace the tank afterwards I spent $600.00 on a new 120 gal tank down here I got quotes all the way up to $1,200 for my tank.
