I bought this boat last fall. I replaced the electrical and carpet last fall. Currently replacing the transom. I will be posting many pics as soon as I figure out how to.

I have the original gas tank that came with the boat. Just like yours sigsour. My question is, is this tank ok to keep using! I heard that the old metal tanks corrode on the inside.

Hey, welcome to iboats tj!

The 18' SS is an excellent do all boat, I'm sure you will have lots of fun with her:thumb:

Ya know, you can actually inset more than one photo in a post eh.

Steel tanks corrode over time. Alum or plastic is better for the long term.

:welcome:
