I unfortunately bought it on consignment from a local Winni dealer so I don't have much recourse. The boat has all of about 60 hours on it.

Options seem to be to feed it from a deck gas can. The options aren't even great there since they would sit on top of the bilge access and in front of the drain plugs.

Any ideas?

Been there a real bummer, happened to me on my first Eliminator Daytona, aluminum tanks built into the sponsons. Although the manufacturer picked up the tab to fix the boat it really -u-ked seeing the floors of the boat getting cut out to remove the tanks. Not many people around these days that take on type of ambitious repair.
