Su Sure have, just about everyone, just thinking out loud that when this tank fails what type of condition will the hull be in? Anyway, the tank is at the bedliner place getting an epoxy coat and then a liner spayed. They stood by their previous lack of work and are redoing this one at no cost...

Picked up the new fuel tank today, looks drastically better than the last. Still trying to decide what to do about a protection coat if one at all. I was thinking that when this tank fails from corrosion the boat will be probably be at the end of its life. Any thoughts on that? He was going to...

I may use those for my front pie holes for my forward drains. The other issue I had with the rear access to the tank, there was only room to remove the sending unit barley, if you ever needed to remove the pick-up fitting you would've needed to cut the deck. It seemed that it came from the...

I hear you on that, the tank builder is going to run the pick-up tube to the rear of the tank, said it's something they do on the regular. Should be fine, thanks for your recommendations though.

Yes, the new tank will be 3/16" with baffles, I am also having the pickup and sending unit moved toward the front so I can get rid of the pie hole between the console and leaning post. On a better note, the original welding shop refunded my money for the tank. The bed liner company also gave me...

Update again, I removed all the fuel from the tank and put a small pressure test on it to find it just dumping air out but was unable to get my hand to the location. I started de-rigging the console and was able to remove it this past Sunday. Monday I removed the bottom cap and cut the floor...

Update... I have been using the boat since the spring of last year and everything has been working great. I pulled it out of the water about two weeks ago to install a new Uflex steering system and to service the motor. All that work went off without incident, I stopped and filled the boat up on...

Assuming you’re talking about Wilmington, NC, I would use Salt Water Marine or Gorges Boatworks. Just installed a Uflex system the other week on my 2100 to replace the old Seastar system, works very well, it is a good amount of work but not to terrible.

Thanks for the info, I placed one in the tank that this will work with.

It was almost directly under the console, it stoped just short of the front of the console and stopped just short of the front of the leaning post. I saw where someone said you could get it out with out removing the console, I'm not an expert on this but I suppose you might be able to cut a hole...

Got the boat back from the boat yard, they did a good job putting it back together, sprayed non skid and it looks good. I ended up owing them about $2800. Next is to put the console and t-top on it, add a larger side door, move the batteries up front and start the rewiring process.

No, all the wood seems to be in good shape, not real sure I found a smoking gun per say. A friend on mine is convinced it was electrolysis, I’m not sure about that either. I assume moisture just got trapped in the foam over the years and salt started eating away at it. Boat is still at the boat...

Yes I would agree, this will be a back up to the Garmin.

I decided to have the tank sprayed with bullet liner. Before that though, I replaced the sending unit with the style I wanted. I used the tef-gel that was suggested for the screws. I dropped the tank to the boat yard yesterday, they said it would be a couple of weeks before they were finished...

Looking at the picture again, there is a threaded adapter by the fill hose that is hard to see. Maybe that’s what you don’t see…

There is a extra threaded fitting beside the fuel pickup that has a cap on it in this picture going to add a barbed fitting to it connect it to the front vent.

Picked up the tank today, cost was $925, has extra flange for sending unit and extra vent like Warthog spoke about. Did not upgrade to thicker material. In the picture I have the sending unit out, my boat does not have a fuel gauge on it, currently uses a fuel flow sensor and the Garmin. Will be...

Having a new tank built, they called this afternoon and said it was ready. When I pick it up next week I’ll take some picture before it gets coated.

2000, sorry forgot to throw that in..

Hope everyone is doing well, this will be my first post on the site. I bought this 2100 DV at the beginning of the year and was able to use it for a little this summer before I started noticing problems which lead to the pictures below. I knew that this was a possibility when I bought the boat...
