Get some muffler tubing from the parts store to make the transition from the fill to the tank and then rubber hose it at each end.

 2sav,
  Dont let the boat win the battle !!!   You have put lots of work into this project dont give-up now !!  Just take a little break,  stand back and look at it in a few days and you will find a solution to the problem.  If the brackets are a problem Imco sells new ones ,  2 diferent styles,  http://www.imcomarine.com/pages/tanks.html .  Beerjets idea about the curved tubing for the filler necks sounds like a good idea.  If your worried about mounting the tanks through the hull ?  Dont be, lots of boats were built that way,  my Daytona for one.
 
Trying to put together something someone ealce took apart can be a pain in the ###,  like a puzzle with no picture .  But when your done ( sitting on the river looking at the and enjoying a cold one ) you will be able to say,  Yea, I built this ! 

if you call IMCO and tell them the type of hull you have ... they probably have a tank pattern for the hull already. they made most of the tanks for all of the boats we run for the mfg's when they were new.

Thanks for the support guy's but This is not a last minute decision on this project boat, i have given it ALOT of thought last couple weeks and it just does not make any sense to continue with a boat that will take three times the money to get back in the water again compared to my original boat.

Yeah the boat (Omega) thats in my Avatar and sig line is the original problem child. We blew the 455 that was in it and said screw it, and it just sat in the backyard collecting dust. I wanted something that would look cool and a big motor, soooo............ thats where the Fantasy came into play. But its no longer feasible  Most people here know that i spend tooooo much time thinking and not really see what reality is, Reality is, i have a boat with a new Energizer kit Jacuzzi pump, new interior,carpet,bimini top and a nice trailer to put it to bed on.

If i would have pulled my head out my AZZ months ago, my boat would be complete with the money i have already spent on trying to bring the Fantasy back to life.

Anybody want to buy a project boat


CHEAP

Are you still going with the ford or are you going back to the 455?

well cause its winter...he's got all the time in the world to figure it out.....woooohoooo my out side temp says 63. thats 2 degrees warmer then yesterday...maybe you dont have all that extra time? here comes spring!!

This is lined up with the holes for the straps, The way it was before it sunk  and was stripped and before i got it. Remember i got this boat all torn down and now im trying to put it back together again, not knowing what how or where

How in the hell did that pic get in there   O'well dont need tanks now
