Tim - Yes they were dry. I did the math on my new tanks. Old tanks - 112 gal each, new tanks 113 gal. Made them 10" shorter and 1.5" taller so they are now serviceable. Meaning, you don't have to;
1. Cut the tanks in half to remove them in pieces, or;
2. Cut the helm / bulkhead up to slide them forward, up and out.
Just unscrew the floor, disconnect a few things and wa-laa!
What a winter project it's been (for Dave!)! (Still not over)

so you literally have replaced everything on that boat. Can’t even imagine the money you spent.
