HELLO DON, I HAD A 40 GALLON TANK FABRICATED THAT IS THE SAME WIDTH BUT LONGER. WE PUT IT BACK IN THE ORIGINAL PLACE IN THE FLOOR BUT IT NOW EXTENDS UP UNDER THE BOW AREA. THE ONLY PICTURES I HAVE ARE THE PAPER TYPE AND I HAVE MANY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS A DIGITAL CAMERA AND LIVES NEXT DOOR. I'LL GET W/ HIM OVER THE WEEKEND AND SEE IF HE CAN POST SOME. THE SIDES ARE A DARK GREEN, WHITE ON THE BOTTOM AND TOP. I HAD A 71 CC BEFORE THIS ONE, ALSO TOTALLY RESTORED IT. I BOUGHT THE 66 WITH THE INTENTIONS OF MAKING A CC OUT OF IT. MY 3 KIDS DECIDED NOT.LUV THEIR BOW.BOB

Bob.. I have a 67' 19 Bow rider. I'd like to see how your gonna get that tank in there..lol. I built my own to fit the orgial location and only got 28 gallons out of it. Are you planing to take out the ends of the tank well and slide it back? I have the outboard version of the boat, was yours an I/O? . I think they held more fuel. Just wondering... a couple of pics of mine.

Bob.. Now I see how you did it. Lack of fuel is the main reason I keep the 88 spl. A 150 would be nice but 28 gallons just ain't gonna cut it. Now that you've answered that question, I can see a new tank in the future.. also a bigger motor...
