Yes. Wanted a rectangle one but I couldn't get a 19 gallon one to fit. This triangle one is 19 and fits well

That was going to be my next question. LoL If you were going to put/build a rear bench around it or not.

I did a little math and this one came out to 20 gallons. It was in the boat when I got it and it. Im going to change up the filler hole so its straight up and down and slap a new sending unit in it.

Then build a read bench frame around it like the old one was. The low part of the tank is under the seat. Thats the plan anyways.

That's my next conundrum to solve. Fitting a tank with a large enough capacity for 40 mile river runs, but still having a rear bench seat in my Viper.

RJ, when you get a chance, could you tell me how much space you have between the floor and the bottom trim of the splashwell? Thanks bud.

I will. Have a sundeck to push the seat out enough.
