BTW-
New tank is in and works great. Everything went back together very well after I got the fill and vent hoses out with some professional help.

Cut outs along the line of the fill hose were covered with starboard for now. I may glass in later but with the closed forward deck it is not necessary as it can not be seen.

Ran yesterday and did fairly well. Still having a few issues with the 150 Merc not getting all cylinders at mid range RPM's and higher. I will be checking spark and going from there. But had a great ride home last night while the moon came up so I will not complain too much.

I used Tony at Sunshine 6 years ago when I replaced my tank. I also epoxy pained. I went from a 8 1/2 ft tank to 5 1/2 ft. That reduced my gallons from 155 to about 95 or so. The main reason was to move weight forward. With my twin 115's getting 2.5mpg LOADED for fishing that still gives me range to safely go about 85 miles offshore.

Tony did quality work and the tank was done in 5 business days.

That's really good economy for twins. If I want to run the 80+ miles to the Middle Grounds, with only 27 gallons usable in my tank, I have to carry at least 24 gallons extra on my deck for the trip out. (I usually carry 29 extra: two 12 gal portables, and I have a 5 gal jerry can stowed)
