Not really actually I don’t know why people always get so freaked out about doing fuel tanks in these boats. They’re just dead center in the middle of the deck so you’re just pretty much get the dimensions from Parker and you just cut them out precisely once you do that you just put a new one in and re-glass the floor and it’s really not that big of a deal, a 250 gallon fuel tank cost me $3000 … The issue was that they used to use foam and it just rots them from the bottom. Luckily, I have friends that are really good at that type of stuff so I paid them to do it if you brought it to a marina yes it would cost you a lot of money, but to be honest, there’s no reason somebody with a half a brain couldn’t do it by themselves if you have the right tools I’ll be posting some pictures on here tomorrow
