i just re-read this, and its kinda silly...
mark is just giving a heads up/buyer beware.
the only bashing i saw was that a 36 is an apache performance boat, which imo, aint really a bashing.
Guys... enjoy your rides and the $ you watch getting thrown at them. In the end we're all masochists for power/speed.

My opinion is that a boat like Mark's with saddle tanks and no cabin is much easier to replace the tanks. From what I see, Jayl's probably has a belly tank because I can't see the saddle tanks. Keep in mind Jayl's apears to be a full stagger from the picture and Apache Warrior is a half stagger full cockpit boat. Apache Warrior has a belly tank and also has a second tank up in the V-Berth area.
The cockpit floor would need to be cut to gain access to the belly tanks. Or, eliminate the belly tank and install some saddle tanks so you don't have to rip up the cockpit. I know boats that are 5 yrs old (a 45 Sonic) that needed a new tank and others that are 20 yrs that have the original tank. I replaced the tank in my Scarab when it was about 10-12 yrs old.
