Seacraft 84-we are in the midst of replacing ours with a tank from Sunshine tanks in FL. We have a 23 that is one year newer than yours. The box it sits in beneath the floor is 29" wide by 14" deep-the enclosure is open to the bow, enclosed on 3 sides. I added drains with little pvc fittings so that water will flow into the bilge. Our tank will be a little over 100 gallons. Good luck with your project. We had to cut ours out in pieces with a metal/aluminum cutting tool called a nibbler. No more foam-we are using 5200 and strips of starboard.

Thanks. The existing tank looks in good shape but don't need to haul all the extra gas around.

Be aware that 5200 doesn't adhere too good to starboard.
I used strips of fiberglass I cut from used pieces from demoing a fiberglass boat.
I'm assuming you are using the strips to hold the tank up so air can circulate around the tank?
That is the David Pascoes method of installing aluminum tanks.
Bare aluminum, no coating necessary.

LOL. Just saw your post on fuel tank.
