I’m with Larry. I’ve had Salty Lady’s (hull 113) tanks open, I cleaned them and an of the opinion that they definitely fiberglass.
I have seen some of the tops fracture probably due to filling to fast and having vents plugged.

I’m working on replumbing the outgoing valves as so I can control which tank is being used from the access panel under the stairs. I’m keeping it simple and not changing the valves but rather leaving them open and running the line to and from new valves under the stairs. My concern with changing the valves is breaking something loose on the tank.
Going to use two 1/2” fuel ball valves from Defender @ $28 each since they have feet I can screw to a piece of plywood being attached to the tank using sika 291. I’ll use the same size tubing and flare fittings as exist on the rest of the system. It might be done by the time your in NY.
