It really helps if you put your location in the post. ;)

The tank size I am looking for is in the 50-60 gallon range. Currently this boat has a 35 gallon tank but I need to go larger for more range. I had 76 20 ft SeaCraft that had a 70 gallon tank in it. This tank took up the whole under deck compartment. I was hoping to get a tank to set under the deck hatches forward and allow room for a water tight accessible deck hatch aft.
My location is in Charleston, SC

I got mine from them. It's a 50 gal tank for my '74 20' and I am very happy with it. It comes complete with epoxy coating, sending unit, fittings and hoses. Just give John the dimensions and it takes about one week.

I am in the process of replacing a leaky fuel tank in my 23' Walkaround. When I pulled the hatch the manufacturer's info was stamped on tank. I googled them and found them now in North Carolina (originally in Hialeah, Fl.) I took the identifying info off tank and called them. They had my original schematics of the tank and quoted me a price to replace it. If I had chosen to buy from them they would have sent me the drawings so I could check against actual tank and then would make it to specs. Projected about four weeks to fabricate and cost around 1326. with shipping to Ma. Here is their contact info if it helps:
Florida Marine Tanks, 120 Peter Grill Rd., Henderson, NC. 27536. 305-620-9030.
I think I am going to have a local welding shop make me a new tank;cheaper and in less time.
Good luck, hope info is helpful.
Vin

Sunshine marine tanks in fl. did mine. Quick build based on my measurements from old tank after I pulled it and everything was perfect.

I strongly recommend them.
