there have been a few threads in the past on this topic.
I am in a similar boat as you. I have the moeller 22G white topside tank and under it are the 1989 OEM tank mats that are riveted too the deck. I have been thinking of taking others advice and replacing the old OEM mats with Dri-Dek (to fiit under the tank)
I too am figuring out how to best secure it i.e. secure it with the moeller tank hold down kit (straps) or the moeller permanent fuel tank hold down kit (Stainless brackets). That said, I read reviews about the stainless not holding up....pitting, etc.
before patching old holes and drilling new ones, I want to do it right the first time. So trying to figure out the best move myself
