Cigarette adventure part ???
3 or 4 I forget ..
Leaky gas tanks had to go. New ones are shorter and have less capacity but for the boating we do 75 gallons each is plenty for me.
Maybe it`s just me (only 40 miles logged last weekend ) but the boat feels 'lighter and sportier' with less porpoise now that the fuel weight isn`t under the dash.
Sonic 700 built me a sweet floor .better than original, super strudy, then I had everything wrapped in 1/8 glass.
Moved starboard fuel fill to port side ( one of my favorite mods) so nice not to have to drag the the hose over the seats anymore.

"Sprinkler Stellings" while they had a huge bling factor they had to go.
Had the stainless marine Gen III went in.
02`s now do not get wet anymore, and reversion is gone.
(dry with just a 1/4" hole at the end to keep mufflers from turning blue)
Hydrodipped carbon fiber.

I know if you replace both tanks with factory 125 gallon tanks the floor and bulk head need to be cut. My question is with the 75 gallon tanks do both the floor and bulk head still need to be cut? For fellow vintage cigarette owners including myself it might be worth knowing if going to a smaller tank reduces cutting and repair work down the road. I'd venture a guess that the old tanks could be cut into pieces to remove. Just a question if the smaller tanks will fit in the opening?

Doing the same thing! I'm going to Put Stainless Marine on and will never worry about exhaust again. Look sweet in carbon I thought about doing that to match my air lids!
