By default and unless otherwise replaced, 30 year old Taiwanese Tubs have black iron tanks.

What year? My Taiwanese tub has stainless tanks and 3208T/As. Love our tub and the engines.
Welcome
Welcome
It's a 1989 model. The broker claims the tanks are steel, but I could tell they were stumbling when I posted that question. And to the unknowing steel=iron.
I've ran across some that didn't and as far as I could tell they weren't replacements.

If you have inspection holes it is easy to tell. Make sure you get a survey and ask your question. Get the tanks cleaned and fuel polished.
I've owned several boats, so I'm not a newby at this.
This is my first time looking at some of the Taiwan boats. Before I go making long distance trips to look at them or get a surveyor a little basic information is good. If the tanks are iron it's a no-go item for me and no use in spending time and money.
I appreciate any heads up from owners and such. Thanks.
