That's what it looks like....aluminum, rounded corners, welded
ends.....I have yet to actually measure it but I am guessing it it
approx. 24" wide, maybe 20" deep and 18" height......I think it is the
original 20 gallon tank that sits on an open wooden frame (ends on the
wooden ledge(s) ) with most of the bottom exposed....the bottom that is
exposed looks fine but it is what I can not see that I would like to
inspect.....it's the welded ends on the bottom where the tank fits on
the wooden frame that is my concern.
The boat was in fresh water for its first 21 years.....well
maintained....since I have owned it, the fuel tank is in a salt water
environment but the tank has not been subjected to salt water on it.
Empty it, remove it, clean it, inspect it.....then make a decision about
replacing it. I may have just decided on a plan.
Will keep you informed.

that, then that is what it is. Otherwise there was such a thing as special
customer orders. I looked at at 35 once that had a cylindrical monel tank.
Don't know it it was original or not, but it appeared to have been there for a
while.
Up to you, but I would remove it, clean it really good, and inspect it very
carefully before making a decision to replace it. If salt water has been kept
away the condition might surprise you.
Advice is worth exactly what you pay for it.

I am assuming the fuel tank on my 1984 is original......it is
metal.....not sure what the metal is. Anyone know for sure what the
fuel tank was made from?
Given its age, I am considering removing it later in the Fall and
inspecting it and possibly replacing it.
Should I decide to replace it, what are my best options? Where would I
obtain a new fuel tank (20 gallons)?
Any and all input greatly appreciated.
