If you compare the 71/72 25 seafari's to the 73/74/75 25's
There is a big difference in the cockpit/cabin stepdown. There is a LOT of empty space below the cabin floor on the 71/72 25 seafari's. I imagine this is where the tanks would have gone had the 25 been built by potter to moesly's specs.

It would of been sweet if it had the size of the orifice between the tanks and said the volume of the tanks. There are a lot of unknowns there still. That's why Im leaning towards a single tank just for weight ballast. Like Big said there is a lot less room under the floor in the later 25's than the first ones built. The good thing about the latter ones is that you can stand up in the cabin and have a ton of extra head room. Im not sure how much extra depth I have but it looks to be 8" or more over the others. There is still a lot of room in the storage compartment that a bladder tank could go but I am hoping to find room under the deck even if it is a shallow tank custom built to fit the contour of the hull. Welding aluminum is not a problem for me so I could build a odd shaped tank and add some foam coring under it for support and then glass it in solid so that it don't bounce around and support it well.
