Finally found measurements I had made when I pulled fuel tank to inspect it during repower in 2006.

The tank coffin is 25" wide, hatch opening is 22.5" wide x 37 3/8 long, tank is 22" wide and 60" long, as shown in sketch below. The fill fitting is angled back at about a 30 degree angle, so it's sort of pointed at the fuel fill on gunnel.With the tank all the way forward in the compartment, the aft surface of tank is about 3.75" forward of the bait well under port stern seat. The hatch overlaps the front edge of tank by 2.5", so I suppose you could make the tank about 1-1.25" longer if you reduced distance between tank and bait well and continued the sloped aft top surface at the same angle. If you really wanted to get maximum capacity in the existing volume, you could make 2 separate tanks, which would allow you to make the tanks a little taller, plus you could eliminate the sloped surfaces, since it would be easier to install a couple of 30" long tanks than a single 60" long tank! Of course you'd also have to run separate fill and vent lines, maybe out the port side.

John, I suggest you modify your mock-up to these dimensions and test fit it before you order a tank! Denny
