I have just pulled my gas tank in my 32 and I need to know if anyone has the original tank still in there boat. If so I am looking for the manufacturing sticker mine was covered with primer.

My tanks are still in but the floor covers all but the back arond the pickup and sender. No markings there.

Do you think the manufacturer is still around?
I'd give Marty Bosinger at Fountain a call. Since Reggies first Executioner was an Excalibur, they might be able to help.

I had some Q's regarding my X dimension when converting my 84 Excalibur to bravos and Marty was SUPER helpful.

I think I'll be needing tanks in mine. My port tank gets water in it mysteriously.

Do you have any photos of your 79 posted?

The pictures that online are the first pictures that were before we bought it. It is the same but cleaned up. The pictures of the removal process of the tank are still in the camera. I am going to start a thread on how to remove a tank to help all.

I have a sticker on my Excalibur 32. Tank is Dated 1988, AFP (ALUMINUM FABRICATED PRODUCTS INC.)THIS TANK SAYS 125 GALLON, THERE ARE TWO, .125 GAUGE, MODEL 41-1208-AF....i THINK THEY WERE OR ARE OUT OF PERRY FLA. THE ANGLE WAS A LITTLE STEEP TO GET THAT PART IN FOCUS.

HOPE IT HELPS!!!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to go and look at your boat for me. And yes it helps I am going to look them up right now.

Thanks again.

Excalibur Dude

cool, I have a question for you. What does your engine hatch hardware look like. My boat didn't come with any so I have no reference what it should look like. I'm start to gather ideas of how to make it right. So far I have only added a removeable support for where the two hatches meet when closed. My two engine hatches (covers) swing from the centerline out and I tell ya, if you have one open and the wind blows it closed on ya, you know it. Do you have an example picture.

Sorry but I am no help with that, I have a single hatch that open front to back hinged in the back. The picture I have doesn't show anything different or special.

How is the tank project going?

Waiting to here from the fabricator gave it to him on Wednesday , we were told 1100-1300 with 600 in material site unseen. I am going to give him a call tomorrow and see what is up. He said he couldn't get to it last weekend but this weekend was good. Hopefully he can do what he says if so the price and time line would be great. Right now it is saving me money from fuel cost and hitting trees in the river. haha

Is that for one tank?
Does your excal have on tank or two?
Mine has 2 @ 80 gallons each.
