1988 Morgan 41 Classic

Looking at a 1988 Morgan 41 Classic to buy. It is near Galveston Texas. I am concerned the fuel tanks are getting old and might need to be replaced. Does anyone know a reputable yard in the Kemah or Galveston area that could inspect it and give me an estimate on replacement costs?

I was looking at a Tayana in Florida and the tank replacement cost was prohibitive.

FYI: At the present time there is no smell or any reason to suspect the tanks. I am just concerned they are at the end of their useful life. Of course so am I.

Re: 1988 Morgan 41 Classic

Your surveyor should be able to assess the tanks condition. There are a bunch of threads dealing with DIY replacement in a bunch of different situations, ranging from built in and totally inaccessible to lift out, with solutions from sealing the bottoms with epoxy to inserting bladders. If it looks like you might b left with this job, take some access photos to show people on the forum, and get some suggestions.
