I have a 1982 24' outrage and was wondering if anyone knows the life expectancy of the fuel tanks? I am seriously considering installing a T-top and once this is done makes getting to the tanks more difficult down the road. I guess what I am asking is should I replace them now or roll the dice. any advice would be appreceiated. thanks

I just pulled the floors on my 82 Outrage 25 - Here is what it looks like - I would recommend you do the same - The fill hoses were cracked - The tanks visually seem ok. I may perform a low pressure test to be sure.
