The holes were so enlarged that I just filled them with epoxy and the re-drilled for the new cap.

I thought so too! :D Even crazier when you think the guy use to take his wife and kids out with him. The other side has the correct fuel cap but leaks like a sive so that will get replaced this winter too. I wanted a boat to do some work on but didn't expect a project to start off with that required everything be rebuilt. Oh well, I guess the one saving grace is that it's a Miller and has a good hull.

You couldn't get a vice grip on it from the inside? Kinda late now.

I guess you could have 'cause the only thing holding the tank in place was the seat in the front and the loose battery box in the back.
