Default Re: 1989 23WA Seacraft fuel tank replacemnt/maybe?

Too late to edit, so will do another post on today's lesson.
I really found the leak a little while ago. I was cleaning out some of the foam on the tank deck and found that the starboard rear corner foam really smelled like gas. I has set the back part that I had cut off on top of the rest of the tank and was washing down the inside, found several corrosion indentations on the inside, but noticed water drops forming on the rear portion of the tank. I then took a putty knife and scraped the outside and here comes a pee hole with water squirting out about 2 inches. Sure glad that did not happen on the water, but it was ready to pop. Then instead of dealing with crud in the tank, I would have been dealing a bilge full of gas. I have an outboard and and at that time, the float switch on the bilge pump wasn't working (just fixed that since the deck was off). Guess I avoided a disaster in the making.
I would post pictures but haven't mastered that yet. Maybe try later, unless someone would like to post some of the pictures I took, I could E-Mail them to you. Let me know as my comcast does not show up on the profile.
I think my e-mail address is current on the profile, I will check it and if not update it.

OK, I uploaded the photos to photo bucket now trying to figure out how add them here.
Ok, I guess if you want to see them click on the link. Last one is just a picture of our active volcano, Mt Baker, we look at it all the time, some days you can see stem plumes.
