In Response To: Re: Tank Out/Painting Bilge (Bob Ozinga)

Bob, you located at Easton MD?, I'm in Southern MD and boat out of Solomon's Island. Anyway, I don't want to loss any fuel capacity since I go offshore alot in the summer. I think fabrication will be expensive due to the complexity of the tank. I'm thinking of trying to reroute my exhaust to simplify the design. Thinking out of the box, I've thought of two other possible options, decap the tank and install a bladder or use a keel tank between the stringers and two saddle tanks. There are alot of prefabricated plastic tanks that would probably work and would cost about a grand total. I don't really like either idea but I'm getting desparate. I emailed Bertram for tank fabricators who have hopefully already done a B28 tank, but got no reply yet. Open to suggestions.
