Re: Gas tanks
Yes and it sounds like you're in way over your head. :facepalm:
Have you tried simply removing the seat bench and that did not work? What answers are you looking to get from this forum? Step by step instructions on how to remove the tank? Do you have specific questions that have arisen due to trial and error of attempting to remove the tank?
Having been a member of this forum for the better part of the day, I can tell you that getting advice on how to handle specific issues or getting general advice on products are the forte of this resource; however, if it is a how-to from scratch type question, without seeing what your issue is, this might not be your venue.
I might recommend taking the boat to a professional to be worked on if you aren't sure how to rebuild the boat from the ground up, as it appears this is what you are trying to accomplish. Another option might be to seek a local resource that has perhaps done this type of rebuild first hand. Just make sure to be especially nice to this local resource, as not to upset them and extinguish any chances you had of getting some free help.
