Default Re: That old topic...I am replacing my Tank

While that worked for ned2nav, it would be best to clamp the tank down. I did it by screwing 2X2's across the tank and into the deck. I will fill the screw holes with epoxy. If your tank is close on the measurements to get the max size tank, the movement of the foam could cause you having to remove the tank and start over due to the foam lifting the tank and then the hatch not fitting corectly.

Guys-

What about using a material like Starboard or SeaBoard as the platform for the new tank instead of fiberglassed marine plywood????

Any reason why that wouldn't be a good idea???

I dont know how you would attach/tab/secure it to the bilge floor and stringers ...not a whole lot will bond with it ...plus that bonding agent then needs to bond to the fiberglass in the bilge. A sheet of 3/4" is big bucks (I'm guessing easy over $250 for a full sheet ) as compared to plywood and fiberglass

It's too slippery, too heavy, too expensive and nothing wants to stick to it. You would be better off with the marine ply glassed on both sides then you can glass that to the sides of the stringers and hull. I'm sure there are other ways you could figure to secure the tank but why re-invent the wheel [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
