Question about saddle tanks in my 69 tahiti
« on: March 04, 2011, 05:49:00 AM »
Currently I have a bow tank but have been thinking about running saddle tanks in my 69 tahiti, has anyone out there done that ?  If so do any of you have saddle tanks up for sale that will work, there does not seem to be a lot of space available.  What I am looking to do is gain some storage space in the bow of the boat.

Thanks guys all the help is appreciated.

those will probably fit really good depending on boat length. about the same measurements as the ones i made for my boat.

You definately want to go saddle tanks!

As someone told me when I first started with these things a few years ago, "Jet boats like all the junk in the trunk".

Then again, maybe it wasn't a boat reference at all............. :screwy:...............Consider the source.........(beerjet)...... ::)
