Welcome Aboard! Whatever you do, DON'T foam in the new tank! Although aluminum itself is relatively corrosion resistant, foam holds water against the tank and sets up crevice corrosion that can eat through it relatively quickly. They did not foam in the tanks on the early SeaCrafts, so I'm still running the original 44 year old tank as a result! (Although I have removed it a couple times to check it, painted it with epoxy and attached some plastic strips on the bottom to keep it up off the flat surface.) Check this website for more info on how to install a fuel tank, and a whole bunch of other usefull info!
