Art, if you're talking about a tank in a B33 SF there is a foto with dimensions at this site. Scroll down about 6 posts. We pulled this tank from a 1985 SF. It was a 315 gal. tank. Forget the idea of a bladder inside the tank. There are 6 interior baffles held in with rivets covered with fiberglass...

Well, got boat yard ready to transport and storage 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Ship for $500 plus storage $450/mnth. Found out I dont need cut floors to get to tanks. The damn thing is screwed on on the edges sealed but removable. Got the laser machine ready from Kona. We are going to do this the...

But then again I can always turn around and walk...keep on walking till I reach the moon! Yep can always do that....

That's what I've come across to date. I think this might be the other option. The military started it and still in use today. Have questions about it's confinement and this is from the website. http://atlinc.com/atl-marine-fuel-bladder-tank-installation.html We're starting out with fishing and look ...

Carl Absolutely. No question. I've done allot of calling and research on parts, servicing and etc. Aquired my best buddy as my partner ownership. We plan to invest up to $15K more within the year. If I buy the boat he will hop in with little bit more then 30%. Would rather buy a running one but in C...

I owned a 33 FBC 1988 with 330 Cummins for years and it was a great boat.I got good speeds and great mileage out of it. I only sold it because I didn't have anyone to go fishing with me and running up and down the ladder got to be a PTA when I ran the boat single handed. I bought a 26 Regulator Exp...

Carl, How long the listing on Boat trader been? I dealt with the owner thru fb saw his boat there. Surely he left out a few things if I might add. I wanted to question the bridge & cabin but there were allot of info over the phone so I lost track. But we are meeting end of this month. I hope he agre...

Carl, Yep, fiberglass.. had the notion when he pointed out tank is riveted nd laminated to the boat. I read B33 forum of resin dissolve nd transferred into the engines exactly as you noted. The engines last started in 2016 but I'm a bit skeptical of how long it ran if it did at all. Can I bypass fue...

Yannis, My first choice still is the 86 87 B37 because of it's perfect size and additions. That's in my wishlist. I'm a fisherman by blood but never got into it till now. Island boy never be too far from the seas. The B37 has all the options I'm looking for. Claims it's own right & reputation amongs...

Hi guys, good day to all. So far my search brought me to this 87 Bert 33 FBC and its here in CA. It's a project one. Exhaust elbow, shaft seal and "big one" fuel tank. Sat at harbor for 6 years last time engine start 2016. The fuel tanks will be the hard part and will find out more today. The boat i...

Thank you guys so much for all your advises and shared experiences. Don't get me wrong... I am taking in every bits of info you've said. I've signed the offer but the Seller seems to have backed off. That tells me he wants to reprice it or keep it? I guess we both want the boat badly... Yes, that is...

Yannis,

That's the plan so far. I think that will have to do rather not having it sit in the bayou! Too far

Art, What your talking about sounds like a heck of an adventure. But its a BIG deal and a REAL PROJECT. Serious money. Don’t take shortcuts, its not worth it. Good luck if you decide to proceed, but know a boat, even more a big one like the 37 is going to make your ca experience look like Childs pl...

Carl thanks, I think I'll take your advise on the mechanic. I found a local mech shop to do it. Should I get a boat surveyor when I think I will know the outcome? I wish the boat was free!! Working through his broker. West coast does not have too many Bs.. but this I think is the "One"! I'm not quit...
