For those of you with saddle tanks-
How are you mounting them? Please dont suggest drilling holes through the bottom of my boat-thats how all the jet guys do it and it just dont seem right! If I tabbed in a set of bulkheads with round holes for the tanks do you think that would work? Thanks are Imco 15 gallon SS. Pics would be nice if you have seen anything that might work.
Thanks!

Brendella.On my 77 bubbledeck I had I glassed wood blocks to the floor with bolts screwed through them that the tank brackets could mount to it worked but If i did it agine I would have drilled through the floor would look alot cleaned.Good luck.

Through the bottom. I know how much work you've put into it but with all the flexing a boat does that would be best. Before you dismiss it think about the distance between the mounting brackets and the torque that could be created over (let's say) 3 ft in a slight twist. v-drive
