My suggestion would be to use the search function here and learn what others have done. There is a lot of experience here dealing with tank repairs. Additionally, some recommendations on how to order your new one. As far as finding a fabricator, you would need to let everyone in on your...

Also, I got the 36" wide. it seemed pretty close to the same width as the old cooler seat.

I had them re-position, or tilt the rod holders upward more. I don't have a T-top so I wanted more room to walk around the back without getting tangled up with a stored rod.

After also seeing Offduty5's leaning post last year, I took the plunge last fall and got one for myself. It was a great decision. I love the design, the craftmanship is excellent and they did a slight modification for me at no extra cost. I've got it secured temporarily so I could make sure the...

Welcome Bob and best of luck on your search. You won't be disappointed in that boat!

To you and your new ride...welcome aboard!

Based on my limited knowledge, I wouldn't think it would be bolted because there is no access to the backside. And... I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter if it was or not. Most of the leaning posts will be designed to be screwed to the deck. Even if you got one that needed bolts, the chances of...

Yeah the instructions are pretty clear about that. Mine has a small area of overlap from a distance. It's a function of the light having a fixed angle to the mounting plate and having to mount it on a continuously curved surface. I made a pattern and tried it all over before drilling the holes...

I Agree with Inshore Chaser, Taco side lights. Bright, low profile, easy to install, never have to touch again. I think they go quite well with the 1800's.

I agree with that^^^ Although you may not have plans to sell soon, stuff happens and that's the one thing a prospective buyer will be leery about even if you think the tank is in good shape. Take the extra step, get it done. You will have peace of mind also.

Can you fair the new gel coat out further into the original, so its not so abrupt? You may be able to polish/blend it better over a bigger area. Also, if you put new Parker stickers your eye would be drawn away from the repair area and to the shiny new stickers. I think most times, a slight...

80lb/24V/60" and batteries in the console is what most of us 1800/1801 owners have installed. Beyond that, we've all done something a little different. Read through some of the old posts and you'll probably end up with a similar configuration differing only in the details.

Start in a small area and go through the process a couple times. You will learn alot by doing small areas and then progress to the larger job at hand. You'll learn how much to apply, how it builds and how to finish.

Welcome 843! Going on year 19 with mine and I still love it like the day I bought it! I just sold my Yamaha 115 2 stroke and have a new Suzuki on order but the old Saltwater Series was still running perfect. That is a nice clean ride you have!

One of the great things about your boat is that it's a perfect canvas to learn how to work on, repair or modify a boat. Once you dig in and see how everything fits together, you will feel a great satisfaction with knowing all there is to know about your boat, in addition to being able to...

Welcome aboard Mr Hoss! We're all picture addicts here. We enjoy seeing everyones ride.;)

I have one that is in excellent condition that just came off my 1800...new cushions too. If someone is interested, let me know. They are kinda cool, I wish I could find someplace to use it around the house or on the deck but I cant.:(

Yup...These are what I have and they work well for my group 31's. I believe they came from West Marine. I ended up taking a router to the top piece and removed about an 1/8" from a couple small ribs to get them to fit perfect over the top of the battery.

I still have my original tank (1997 1800). Had I not joined this site last year, I would have never known about the tank issues. All I do now going forward is be aware of any water infiltration in that area and keep it dry. Don't let it worry you. Enjoy the ride and it you have to cross that...

60" X 80 lb for me on my 1800. I went with the Ulterra because I feared for my back having to reach out over the front deck to manually lift the TM. So happy I did!
