Not true. We bought our 1977 SeaCraft Sceptre 23' brand new and it certainly had a "foamed in" fuel tank. In fact, when I had to replace the original tank 2 years ago, I had to break it loose from the foam and it was a PITA. The corrosion from where the water was trapped between the tank and foam was the reason for the failure. Very pitted and corroded, but just in that area, otherwise the tank was in good shape. Moral of the story....DON'T FOAM IN THE FUEL TANK, even though SeaCraft did in SOME years...
