'87 18' SF fuel tank replacement

[Littlecraft18]

Hey, I see that you're changing your fuel tank. I did mine about 5 years ago and it wasn't too bad. I was fortunate enough to be able to just tilt the console to the starboard side to get to the tank without disconnecting lines. When I popped the hatch open, I found the compartment was a nice, finished gel coated space. I had the tank replicated at C L Mattson in Tampa for about $500. It fit like a glove. I had to put the tank fill on the port side of the console because I couldn't get the new lines through the old space. Also put the vent near the fill. It is a great boat, only wish it was a 23'. Any questions let me know. Mark T
