John that is a possibility but would you not use cans to fill the tanks and not new tanks> only the owner knows for sure but why remove the fills?
Oh as for the self draining deck. I have the same 4 large holes that can be closed with a screw on plate from the inside. I have not seen any with flappers. There are also another 4 small 1/2 drains. The two at the stern are one way ball drains but the other two are just cut thru the glass,

The "replacement tanks are 30 gallons, which would put the weight in the 200 lb range--not really something you would take in the pickup and then take down the dock to put back in the fish hoid.
A guess would be that the original tanks were leaking and the cheapest solution would be these portable tanks.

They are Alaskans though. Probably not hard for them if they aren't too tired from wrestling grizzlies. |

| I have love for the 27s. But, every one I have looked at has a leaky tank or it has been replaced. I'm sure there's one out there that just fine, but of the ones for sale up here, they almost always seem to have that issue. 30k for a project 27 with marginal power is a lot of money. |

| I have worried about my tanks for a long time. They dod not show any sign of leaking and I almost hate to every type it....... but I did have to replace the fill hoses and mounts when I first got it. Crap of a job but I got it done. If I had to replace the tank. Its one 100 gallon tank divided in to two 50 gallon chambers. I would cut the deck , pull the tanks and replace after cleaning the area and resealing the surfaces. Move the gages and the access out from the center of the floor. |
