Damn CAPT, what a job. Had to get that done once years ago on a 23’ walkaround. Thanks for sharing, great job.

Nicely done buddy! What kind of epoxy did you use to coat the tank?

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

Thanks! Not sure who makes it. It was applied by the tank manufacturer.

[@rea8755]

Interesting very interesting. Thanks for the information. What is the product you needed to remove that surrounded the old tanks?oops i guess it was unfinished (yellowish) fiberglass

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

Thank you. It was surrounded with foam. Tight Lines, O

Going to be doing this to my Pursuit 2870 in the next few weeks. What did you use for the joint seal material? I have used 3m 4200 in the past but it turned black in less than a year. Topside still has some original sealant that is as white as the day it left the factory in 1999! Did you lay the tank in the bilge without any type of support or barrier? Have seen other videos where rubber was payed down. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for the video!

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

I’ve always used silicone for the deck seal and it has worked well for me. As far as the supports…..yes, there are pads located under the tanks that provide spacing and allow the foam to flow under and around the tanks. Good luck with your project!

[@monty7336]

Great video! How long did this project take?

[@aleksandrfigueredo5956]

Tremenda pincha looks great where did you get the tanks done

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

Thanks! Welding World

[@fckupayme9585]

what 2 part foam did you use?

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

I believe it was FGCI.

[@AVMAR]

Why silicone and not 3m 4000UV ?

[@CaptOrlandoMuniz]

Silicone works well but I’m sure the 4000 would also work.

Orlando, Dude we Cubans never worry about sparks or 5 measly gallons of gas! We will have to call you EL Gringo from now on!
