The original round tanks in my F-32 were about 60 gallons each. I had new ones (rectangular) built that are about 90 gallons each. I measured the available space, then left some room on top of eact tank to be able to access connections, sending units, etc.

the tanks that are in it are 60 gal rectangle. Im trying to get some new ones located before the boat gets here so I can replace them. and cut down my yard time.

Out of town, or I'd measure mine for you.
Not sure I'd buy tanks without measuring your own boat, as there could be modifications or additions in the way that affect the layout/placement. You may even want to drop from 4 to 2 tanks, unless you're planning on long range cruising. Storing 4 tanks full of ethanol tainted fuel will only make more fuel go bad (2-3 months).

Here you go, I put two new Moeller tanks in my boat last year and love them. 58 gallons each, 1976 Trojan F32.
