Repower access? Have to wonder. Copy the image to Paint and zoom in.
EDIT: LMHO.
This place says they hold over 3K gallons of fuel.

Re: 28 convertible in Florida for sale
I've always thought these little boats were cool, so I sent my number in and spoke to the owner, Greg. Those are indeed giant holes cut into the side of the hull. The previous (supposedly original) owner, needed the boat gone and donated it to a marine school. The school, not knowing what they had, cut the hull open to show students "how boats are constructed" - at least that the story I was told.
I was told its been sitting for a loooooonggg time, but did find the sale ad on THT from back in 2004. The owner told me him and his son fixed the hull in their driveway, and applied new gel coat. He also mentioned that with a new set of plugs "she'd fire right up" LOL.... maybe?
I'd love to restore one of these, they're just cool, like Bertram 31 cool but with the lines of a mini SF. That said, there seems to be a lot going on with this one and with massive squares cut of of the hull sides, even below the waterline, the juice likely isn't worth the squeeze.

Both ads look AI generated and no way 25,000 pounds of fuel capacity. The world as we knew it is ending.
