    1980 Overnighter gas tank install questions

    Hello all, Getting ready to install the plastic gas tank the p.o. included. I've researched a bit and crossed off several questions on my list. These ar what I have left. 1) being a plastic tank, I presume I dont need neoprene pads. If not, should I block it up with pressure treated 2×4 or foam...

    Hi all, I'm Marc. I just bought a 1980 204c. I think I got a decent deal. I will try to attach pics but it's my first post. I'm interested in anything about the boat. Especially manuals or websites with specific information or where to find parts. The p.o. bought but didnt install the plastic...
