If you have good airflow around an aluminum tank you don't have to do anything to them.

You plan to install below deck and cover over with no access, correct?

Well then, since you're sealing the tank in, poly might give you a longer life because it will sweat under there.
As stated in other rebuilds, allow for expansion and mount it accordingly. We've seen poly tanks chafe when
not secured properly and end up leaking way before their lifetime.
Good luck.

Does anyone have the measurement of the original console base from the casting platform. I seem to have lost mine, I thought I gave it to north but cant seem to find it in the thread.

North yes I'm redoing the old console, going for the original look, no tower or t-top. And The tank is being made custom by a metal shop a friend of mine owns. It'll be 80 x 24 x 9, 76 gal.

Looking for opinions on my floor, I dont plan on adding a tower or t-top. I was going to raise the floor 3 inches, I'm wondering if I can get away with 1 1/2"?

The console was set back from the face of the front casting deck 28 1/2". (Not the lip the front face of the console)
I'm going up 1 1/2" on my deck as well unless I hear anything from others that it should go higher.
I made my new tank 84" long.

Gran, how far forward did you move your fuel tank? And do you feel you placed it right.
