Exclamation Gas tank mounts broken !!!

I have been smelling gas fumes in my cuddy cabin and trying to find the problem. Well tonight I found the problem, the mounts on my aluminum tank have all broke loose and the tank has fallen about an inch or two intno the bilge. Iwas able to locate the hole or holes but Iwould have to say it is coming from one of tue busted welds. Any body have any suggestions on how to attack this problem? Iknow that some of you have had to replace tanks and some of you have redone your entire decks, so how did you go about it? There are only three 8" inspection hatches on the deck now. Did you glassyour tank back in or did you use seaboard and leave access? what are the problems with seaboard structurally? Does any one know of a glass guy or repair shop that could take a look and give me an idea of how much this little project is gonna cost me ? Any of you guys have a horror story to share price wise? Also any B D'ers in the east county that have any spare time and experiance with this sort of prolem want to come take a look and maybe throw out a suggestion or two. Not fishing for help just looking for input. The boat is a 1998 Sportcraft WACC. Didn't realize shit happens this soon!!

Thanks in advance
Dan

Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the tip on American tanks. Spoke to Vince seems like a very upfront guy. Price is reasonable. Still unsure where leak is, or if thre is a leak. But just to be safe, off comes the deck on Monday. On the upside I got hooked up with a fiberglass shop called Fat Boys Fiberglass that does awesome work and has pretty damn good prices. So after he pulls the deck for a better look at the tank, we are going to put it back in a way that is a hell of a lot more fishing friendly. Should be able to open up alot more working room. So, any body looking for a glass guy give me a shout and I"ll post his info.
