    I have a client looking at a 1990 50 MY. We would like to know where the tanks are located and what material are they of.

    I did call Viking but they directed me to Lazzara Yachts since that boat was built during the Gulfstar sale to Viking and the start up of Lazzara.

    I thought Lazzara only built the bigger boats like 60+. Then I hate to say that you re out of luck as they went out of business about 10 years ago. The new Lazzara Yachts is building in Turkey, with no real link to the old company except for one of the son

    that said the tanks should be easy to find start in the ER and follow the fuel lines. Material will be obvious. On the bigger boats Lazzara used fiberglass keel tanks

    I would think their name was on it, they would have some specifications on it.
    I'd call them back and and press this this if it's important to you.
    OTOH,
    There are catalogues that surveyors and some better brokers use that have most of these specs in. Maybe tap on your purchase surveyor for this data.

    Hang on,,,,, Your a broker, surveyor or wanna-be?

    True. Even though they didn’t built their MY until recently you d think they have some data since they slapped their name and sold them.
