My ‘02 2801 is about to get cut up to replace he starboard tank...welder called me tonight to tell me he thinks the console is going to have to come off. I’m probably going to do both tanks if that is the case. Really Bad timing for me. Any way you could send me the stringer drawings...

Thanks for all the advice fellas.

That is good information and i will make sure to do your recommendations. I just called Parker hoping to talk to them directly and they said I have to call the local dealer. How did you get in touch with the factory rep? Do you mind telling me who you used to build the tank? Thanks

Yeah I'm thinking I need to do both...I do not want to have to cut the deck Twice.

Thanks man that is very helpful.

It's about 10" up from the sender, the tank spilt.

Well I received the call today I was praying that I would not get...starboard fuel tank is leaking, from the top. I have a 2002 2801 which has two 150 gallon tanks. Before I take the next step, which is most likely cutting the deck pulling the tank and either welding it or building a new one...

Roger that...def gonna get 18x12

I am confused on what you're saying...I said 12x18's seem like the perfect size, you said you disagree, then said same about the 12x12's...what are you recommending? Just for clarification, I have the 2801 without pockets, 9'6" beam, bracket with T225's.

10-4. Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping to not move the actuator but I guess it's a small price to pay for how the boat will handle.

So you think 12x12 are big enough?

12x18 sounds like the perfect size...no clue why they put 12x9's on at the factory. I'm nervous 12x12's still won't do the trick.

Thanks for starting the thread TabMan. They are not pocketed, it's a 2002 with 9x12 Lenco's. I took Tabmans advice and contacted Lenco and they sent me instructions on installing 12x12's. I asked if I could go larger but have not heard back yet. Really wanted to go bigger but maybe I will...

Sea sucker makes great cup holders and they stay tight...I have three.

More so meant experience with 4 blades on this boat...

Damn...was hoping someone would have some intel.

I have an '02 2801...bought it last summer and I'm very pleased. Has 225's, can't imagine how fast yours goes with 300's. She has raised a bunch of fish...caught a 134# mako the night after I picked her up. Haven't done too much to mine yet...just got Auto Pilot to install this spring. We do...

I just bought A Simrad AP 2403 with virtual rudder feedback for $2,200...havent had it installed yet but was quoted $800-$1000. I researched a lot and this unit had great reviews. I was told to look at Sitex SP110 if I wanted to save $5-600 on the hardware. Jim at BOE is very helpful...I'd...

Thanks guys. Going to inspect and follow your recommendations. I have filled up quite a bit and it only happened like this the last two fill ups. Vent is right next to the fill as shown in the picture above from Megabyte. It has a slow drip basically the entire time I'm filling up, full or not.

Last couple of fill ups I have experienced some serious fuel kickback. From what I have read it sounds like it could be a blocked vent...anyone else have this problem? Also fuel always seems to drip out of the vent leaving gas stains...that can't be normal. Any insight is appreciated...
