I have a 1988 13' BW with a super sport int. I'm looking to put a tank under the drivers seat. approx. 7.5 " tall x 10" deep x50" long. I haven't found anything online or info in the FAQ area here. Has anyone ever mounted one there before? Anywhere to look for a tank of those specs? Thanks

The Moeller above deck tank 15 gallon tank is what most 13 and 15 owners install. You will need to raise the seat slightly.

Many owners install the tank under the forward seat which is changed by installing it on the top of the side cleat rather than under it.

Thanks, I'll look into raising the seat up a bit. may have to shorten up rear storage tray to make the 15" fit w/o going past edge of drivers bench.

I am suggesting under the seat forward of where you sit.

The tank will extend past the seat. No way around that.
