Author	Topic:   wtb gas tank lid \ deck
wayne baker	posted 01-02-2007 06:14 PM ET (US)         I know I probably will not even get a reply on this post but I guess it never hurts to ask. I need a gas tank lid for a 1976 19 foot outrage. It is a project boat that I bought with no lid so repair is not the issue, it is the lack of haveing the part. Any help is appreciated. Wayne

wayne baker	posted 01-03-2007 12:46 PM ET (US)             I am finishing my 19 as a low pro. with some pretty radical modifications. I do plan on keeping the belly tank for the simple reason I would hate to keep gas to feed a 150 plus horsepower engine above deck. That seems like a lot of floor wasted to gas tank. see pictures at http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l119/wbaker-lowpro/?

wayne baker	posted 04-24-2008 02:38 PM ET (US)             Richard, I will use the sprinkle on with awl grip. I am thinking the coarse this time. I used the medium on the fifteen and it was a booger to keep clean. Do you have pictures of your project. I would love to see them. shoot me a e mail if you have pictures thanks much. Wayne
