72’ seafari tank removal

[Capt Terry]

I am the original owner of my ‘76 Seafari. About 15 years ago I replaced the tank. No cutting of the deck was necessary. I emptied the tank as much as possible. I lifted the fwd end of the tank and slid the tank fwd until the aft end of the tank cleared the aft edge of the access hole. Got a neighbor to help me lift it out if the boat, but got the tank on the deck by myself. However your fuel hatch may be shorter on your ‘72. But your tank may be shorter as well. Mine was 47 gallons.
