I recently had the original red Tempo 12 gallon tanks from my 1979 Montauk repainted professionally. In addition, new replacement decals were photo copied from the original Tempo painted on graphics. Some detailed wording was deleted.

I think they look good!

If anyone is interested in purchasing the duplicate decals, they are available here, or simply contact peter@nymarine.ca. I believe they are about $25 each.

I removed the spaces in your links as spaces create a broken link.

Any larger photos of those tanks and decals?

They look great Finnegan! I still have the 2 tanks that came with my '74 Montauk but one is Tempo and the other is Moeller so they don't match where the handles are affixed.

I am debating with self as to weather I should clean up the metal tanks or stick with the 26 gallon plastic Moeller one I also have. It will be very heavy moving out from under the seat and back in after filling it. It is not the newer style that has the fill neck positioned lower. Something we don't often consider is a full 12 gallon tank will weigh close to 100 pounds while a full 26 gallon one will go well over 200. I am not as tough and strong as I used to be.

One of the other benefits of raising the RPS 6" is that the fuel tanks of any size can be filled without moving them off the mats.

Nice fuel tanks.

I recently cleaned up my 1991 OEM fuel tanks from Yamaha and replace the edge trim on the bottoms.

Nice work on those tanks, Doc. They look beautiful.

Joe, if you want, I can get you some detailed photos of these original, but restored tanks. Actaully, this paint job is better than original. They are vintage 1979, supplied new with the boat by the selling dealer.

I have a welder that I use in Ft Lauderdale, he was commission by a Boston Whaler dealer to copy (exactly) the 12 gallon fuel tanks, and some of the other above deck fuel tanks that whaler used from Tempo and Moller. (made out of .125 alum.) You can have the tanks powered coated white , red, or any other color you want, Aim Alloy Welding. 954 581 7630, 3939 SW 12th Court.

Larry,
Larger photos would be great so i can add them to the OEM Part Photo gallery....

---

Joe, do you need a picture of the Yamaha tanks?

I also have all the hang tags, packing slip, instructions for maintaining the pexiglass windshields and stainless steel railings that came with my 1991 SSl.....

I suppose these are of no interest except for a future Whaler museum curator or an archeologist a thousand years from now.

docsoma,

Not really. The Yamaha tanks were not supplied by Boston Whaler.
Thanks anyway.

As indicated in the title to this thread, the 12 gallon "Montauk" tanks were actually designed originally to fit the Nauset/Sakonnet mahogany center consoles. Use in the Montauks was simply an adaption of the same tank, but now placed, by necessity, under the RPS seat. Both Tempo and Mirax were Whaler approved manufacturers.

When the 1971 Outrage 21 (ribside) was introduced, Boston Whaler also offered stern quarter 15 gallon tank options for these boats which had no internal tank, and later 18 gallon saddle tank options which fit under the gunwales.

When the smoothside 1973 Outrage 21 was introduced, these saddle tanks were offered for that hull also, in addition to the standard 40 gallon belly tank. The sterndrive 19 Outrage/Revenge models also had these saddle tanks as standard equipment, since the I/O placement deleted the belly tank.

In these Outrage models, however, all were permanent on-deck tank installations, not red painted portable tanks.

There were no "metal red tank" options for the 13's or 15's.

Larry, the Outrage III was available with optional 20 gallon quarter tanks not 15. The saddle tanks were 19 gallon. It's all about the details my friend.

Thank you for the correction on that, JMM.

My fairly early Hull #132 came with no fuel tanks. I think they were not available for the earlier hulls. A friend has a #500's sequence boat, and he told me his came with 15 gallon quarter tanks. That's where I got that incorrect size figure. His original buyer must have had a dealer install them. I am using Moeller 20 gallon plastic quarter tanks, and they barely fit. And they only seem to hold 19 gallons at most.

Whaler's literature is confusing about the later model quarter tanks. Some places say 19 gallons, but the price lists show 18 gallons. I don't use these, since they would cover up the under-gunwale ceiling boards, one of the boat's really beautiful and unusual features.

Here is a photo from the Boston Whaler Options catalog in the earlier days.
This tank in made by Tempo and has the Whaler logo.
I don't remember my Tempo tanks having the Whaler logo in my 1978 Montauk but I could have just forgotten...

These tanks were designed to fit under the RPS and the Four-Man Seat and under the Sakonnet and Nauset consoles.
