I have a 1972 13ft. I want to install a 14.5 gallon plastic tempo gas tank under the rear seat or middle seat. I have seen many 13fters set up like this, they use straps similar to battery box hold downs to secure it to the floor. My question is how can I secure the brackets to the floor that hold the strap if there is no wood in the floor where the straps will have to go? Thanks...Rich

Rich on our old 15 we did not have any straps just teak blocks screwed and 3m 4200'd to the floor. There were 2 on the aft, 2 on the bow side, and one on each side of the tank. The tank never moved even in the roughest of conditions.
