My holding tank is plastic but the hand hole came loose and was a considerable pain in the ass to fix. The forward water tank in mine is aluminum and the fuel tank is aluminum. The back stay attachments are a place for detailed inspection. You'll probably find that the steering cable idlers plate, directly under the pedestal, is probably badly rusted. It should be one of the first safety repairs. The engine mounts may be soft and in need of replacement too.
