On my2006 the back of the tank is about 12 inches, the front is 15.5 which is slightly different then the spect on the drawing so it could be a different tank. All other Measurement look to be close but still not quite exact. I guess that’s not helping you too much

I think that is helpful! Thanks. I"m still waiting to hear from the manufacturer, but if it is close to 12in then it should fit!

I have read that starboard does not work as epoxy will not adhere to it, thus thus the suggestion of using pvc lumber available at home depot or lowes.

I overdrilled, filled with epoxy and inverted ss machine screws into deck and reinstalled the bulkhead piece that previous owner installed. The bulkhead piece is similar to what C-Dory put in their 2000 and newer models.

Here is a link to a picture of how the factory solved the problem of screws in the deck in mid 2000s. In front would be the panel attached to aluminum angle at the bottom.

Any chance you have the height of the rear (aft) tanks from the diagram in your 87?

Yes, sorry for the delay.

The rear height of the tanks in my boat are 12".

If getting from the factory, I wonder if you could tow your boat up with one of your old tanks removed. Then you could take the new tank for that side of the boat out and try it on for size. That way you would know if it fits or not.
I bet they would do that for a C-Brat, they're pretty darn reasonable up there.
