If this is the one you're refering too . . . I see the following problems.

Fuel Fill Height and location . . . Stringer width is almost exactly 24" on the 2 stringer seacrafts and 22 - 23" on the 4 stringer versions. Assuming you have a post 72 - 2 stinger 20 seacraft . . . The width won't be an issue until you factor in the bend you need to make with the hose attached to the fuel fill. You might be able to get creative with a 90 degree elbow, but I wouldn't bet $350 on it.

Height - I think when you factor in the fitting height you'll be really close. You might be able to push this tank forward and gain the needed height for the fittings including the fuel fill.
Thanks for the thoughts!
I'm definitely raising the deck and with shoving it forward the fittings might clear via the hole in the deck under the console, but would as you mentioned have to be real creative, I have a 71, it measured out dead nuts on 24" but I'll remeasure before I commit to anything.

Aluminum definitely has a leg up being able to go completely custom.
