Here's another useful link clearly showing the original and unmolested St T layout . You can get a really good idea what the console looks like as original .

Ok that makes sense ive been looking at the pics of the one they labeled st2 and the color looks close to the color coming thru the bubbles in the gelcoat . any way thanks for all your help bro I'm getting in the truck to drive back down to my other place ooh joy lol
were are located I'm in fla

Madbouyz I just found some thing interesting if you look at the last page of the link you sent me for donzi literature there's a price list on that list is a optional head for 124.00 so its possible that they must have a very small head in there lol . I think mine didnt come with a had tank up front on the st2 brosh. It said they only came with a 40 gl tank under console

Can you believe that I've never picked up on that before ?
I did notice that that must have been a 1965 brochure as the attached price list was for 1965 and they only talk about the boat being available in white . So maybe the colored hulls came after 1965 .
I think the fuel capacity listed always says the same amount but I can't recall them ever saying in how many tanks .

The early brosh say 2 tanks equalling 100 or some thing gl the older ones or at least the one labeled st2 says 40 gl weird right ?

Don't think I've ever seen any of the classics 24' and under listed with 100gal tankage twin tanks or not . The Hornets had one large tank that ran from just under/front of our consoles up to the bow area as that space was completely available . But the St T has the storage lazarette smack in the middle of that tunnel so that would be why they had to split the tanks up.
Still , I can't say I ever seen the St T tankage specified as 42 gallons between 2 tanks .

It was a single tank it's on the donzi literature site under st2 they have it listed as a 40 gl tank . some one must have removed my other tank in front because I can see clear back to the lazzerate or it didn't have one .

Like I keep saying , the fuel tank thing is a riddle .
Both of those brochures do say '40 gallon tank' (not pluralized) , One even says 'dipped galvanized tank' and I've never heard of anyone taking an old galvanized tank out of a classic . They were originally terne steel (eventually banned) or anodized aluminum .
I know without a doubt that the front tank on mine was factory , it was aluminum and it was 22 gallons coz nothing else would fit into that space without extending down into the storage lazarette thus the additional 20 gallon tank under the console . A total of 42 gallons
In both of those brochure pics though , there is only one clearly visible fuel fill on the fwd deck so that would lend credence to a single tank but I have no idea how they got a 42 gallon single tank in that spot .
So , if you open or remove the sight gauge fitting on the floor there's nothing at all underneath of it ? If that's the case someone with a lot of skill and patience was able to remove the tank without slicing the boat up .

I agree with you but maybe mine never had one ? Althou that doesn't explain the fuel site gauge does it .one of those pics that's real large is a veiw from the front bow hatch looking back to the lazzerate and there isn't even a wall there at the front of the lazzerate you can see straight back to the tank under the console

So you're saying that there's nothing at all under that platform where a head might once have been bolted and there's no bulkhead in between the stringers at the front end of the storage compartment under the floor in front of the console ?
Is there any sign of grinding once having been done on the inside of those stringers to remove a bulkhead that would have separated the lazarette storage area from the foamed in gas tank area ahead of it ?
