The gas tank in my 1750LS is made from the old plastic material and in the AZ heat combined with E10 gasohol the gas smell coming out the ski locker is horrible. We checked, and couldn't find any leak anywhere plus the main smell is in the ski locker and not the engine compartment so it has to be the old material tank. Since we have the boat in outdoor storage and not in the garage any more it got a lot worse.....
As I hope that I can get a new material tank from Moeller which meets the 2012 EPA requirements I have some questions for those who removed the floor in a similar age bow-rider:
Is the carpeted floor glued to the spars/frame or is it simply screwed in?
Is the floor made from multiple pieces of plywood or does it go all the way through?
This will also be a good time to replace the idiotic carpet with Durabak. It's rare to have a 16 year old boat which only saw use for a total of 3 years and a total of less than 40h so it's worth bringing it up to new standards......
