Pegathy's PO or predecessor did a fuel tank replacement. They sawed a piece out of the starboard lazarette side to get it in and then did a good, but visible, patch job. It clearly was not easy. If I had to do it, I would indeed try to use a bladder inside the remains of the old tank. The old tank top would, I think, protect the bladder from possible abrasion by the steering cables. If it's the top of the old tank that's corroded, I'd have to think again. I might try to lay a sheet of aluminum over what's left and still use a bladder.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Dan SheerPegathy LF 38Rock Creek off the Patapsco
