So, I decided to make a temporary/permanent tank over the back part of the old tank. Cut fuel fill and breather off top of old tank and set new one over it. The pic shows new tank mock out of plywood. Should hold 15-20 gallons. It not much, but this thing sucks the fuel...needed more than my 30 gal. to get by. I didn't want anything to big and ugly, so I thought this would work.

Nick looking great....I like the tank idea..simple enough and should work well.

Unfortunately for me the 60 gal. has the hole. Found it was leaking from the back. Found the hole and proceeded to patch. Thought I got lucky and hole was near the top as shown in pic. However one hole turned out to be multiple holes, some of which could not be seen. I decided not to pull tank out this year if I ever plan to run this Spring/Summer.

Ouch,

that sucks, not fun getting the tank out of these things.

You are right on. Pepe told me the same. Don't have the time if I want to run this year. I'll make it right later on...got to get in the water!

Paint by DAVE. He's good, but not cheap.

Sounds good. Boat is in St. Louis now. Bilge getting painted tomorrow and tank is in. Also have to paint gimbal and rebuild...drive too. Not enough time in the day with work and all. Honestly, hope to be done by end of June (worst case). Love to see yours and what you've done. We'll cross paths.
