1988 SeaCraft rebuild
So I picked up my new custom fuel tank today. It was built by RDS Aluminum out of Perry, FL. It measures 70"Lx22"Wx8"H and has a 50 gallon capacity. the original tank was 93"Lx22"Wx8"H and had a capacity of 70 gallons. I plan on mounting the front of the tank in the original location or slightly farther forward which means the weight is shifted forward roughly 2 feet. I am hoping this will help with the weight of the transom livewell. Also, the extra space gained will make room for the seachest and below deck storage. The floor livewell was already missing when I bought the boat so I'm not losing anything there. Plus, more bilge space! Now I just need to glass the starboard stringer and get it mounted permanently.
