36 Sport Sedan fuel tanks

[waterguy]

Has anyone had experience removing/replacing fuel tanks in the 36 Sport Sedan?  If so, how was it done, and by whom?  I'm particularly looking for a yard or person in the Seattle/Tacoma/Everett area that could take this on if I have to job it out.  

Here's what I *think* I can do:  If I remove the waterlift muffler for the genset on the starboard side, remove the tank hold-downs, remove the engine exhaust collectors and risers (my boat has a Y-shaped collector behind the manifold that joins the 2 exhausts into 1 and goes into a single riser on each side), I think I can slide each tank far enough back, then pivot it 90 degrees and pull it out the engine hatch without having to move the engines.  If so, I can do it myself (with some help from a nephew) and save the yard time and labor.  

Any hard-won tips and tricks are welcome.  Thank you.

Had my saddle tanks replaced in my 42' 5-6 year ago. I had it done at Dunatos in Seattle. I have used these guys for years and they know their stuff. Without removing the engines they replaced my 2 saddle tanks with 4 tanks connected losing maybe 20 gallons capacity. Excellent work.

They may not seem the cheapest up front. I always ask for an estimate/proposal and they live up to their guess. Other places could low ball you then surprise you later. Family owned and run for years. High quality long term employees. Good luck.
