I need help. I recently purchased a 22' Mariner CC and upon removal of the Floor which was completely gone due to exposed conditions for 4 years i opened up the hull and what a surprise. I pulled up the floor board and the gas lines are like jello about 7" from the tank every one, then i try to remove the tank which is embeded in a bed of foam. The tank was finally removed and huge holes in the tank which now transfered to the hull thus also creating 1/2" holes in the boat hull itself.. I'm so confused...What caused this? Some people are telling me stabil if sat in for a long time will eat hoses but did the hull and the alum tank react with one another. Who in the hell would lay a piece of plywood in the bilge and lay the belly tank on that...I'm too the point now of What do I do? Trash the hull due to 3- 1/2 holes or can this be welded. What do i do with the corrosion to clean it up. Any help would help...

I've posted some pics of the inside of the hull, about 3" wide and 30" long is in bad shape just where the tank ate into the hull or vise versa. Does starcraft repair hulls at the factory and put another skin under it.. Any help would be great, i love the boat but very sick right now.
