What awttpdp said.
The tops of steel tanks can get bad quick but the remainder can often be fine. Check out this stuff (Por-15) it's the greatest stuff if you can get at the rusted areas. Goes right over tight rust, comes in liquid and paste form, and the rust WILL NOT RECUR, ever.

A small built-in tank may be fine, I've done it. A larger tank, requiring baffles like yours, would be near impossible to build in place I would think. If accomplished it would devalue your boat considerably.

If your tanks are indeed done and your don't want to remove your engine to get them out; consider cutting them open, cleaning, and installing a bladder inside???
