Default NEED HELP: Jet boat guys: Securing gas tanks.

Hey, check out my sleekcraft build thread, to see a pic of the tanks. They were originally glassed into the boat with some strips of FG, but that looked awful. What other ways are you guys securing the tanks in your boats?

Is there any structural wood to bolt them to if you have tabs welded on them?

Nope. Here's a X-section. They go next to the tunnels. The only thing around them is FG.

Glassing them in might be the only option... Did you try posting on Performaceboats.com ? There are alot of west coast guys that frequent that site.. Alot of guys on there have rebuilt boats very similar to yours (west coast style)....
