I see most guys going with rectangular tanks, has anyone put the v-shaped belly tanks up front? If you have, how did you do your tank step for the tank to sit on?
If you have custom tanks made...you can have the shape made any way you want, that way you can get the most gallons for the space.

On my rebuild I had the guy weld on tabs (see pic) then those where bolted to the bulkheads. The tanks had a starboard type runners expoxied on the bottom to allow air circulation and water to flow under the tank.

Hope this makes sense. You can go thru my rebuild page and see more.
