GAs Tank Installer

I am in LBI, NJ. Anyone know of a good gas tank installer? The deck is a glasstech so it is easy to remove but cutting the old tank out and putting a new one in is another story.

The one motor has some knocking but it is not consistent which makes me think it could be timing or points. The owner ran 30W oil but I was thinking of using 15-50 for the 454's. The wir...

Yep, that's it so the fresh water tank is a solid tank and the waste tank is a bladder style. Is that legal?

The strange thing is there is a square fiberglass tank in front of the collapsible one. And it appears that the drain lines from the head go into the collasable one. I have to see what goes into the permanet mounted glass one.

Not having the boat I just bought in my possession prevents me from measuring it. I have a 1974 31. Does anyone know the height of the boat from the bottom center to the top of bridge. It will be sitting on a low hydraulic trailer and I have estimated the height at about 13-14 is that correct?
