New fuel tanks for a Seafari 25
 

Well, I finally pulled the fuel hatch. It was both better and worse than I was expecting. The top of the tank is corroded where some 2x4 (!) bracing rotted up against it. They might be useable, but I think I would rather replace them with plastic. We will see. I am evaluating options right now. I can't find a pair of plastic tanks in the 50 gallon range that fit unless MAYBE I get some long skinny side by side ones. With E-10 and maybe E-15 on the horizon, I don't see new aluminum tanks being the trick.

Any opinions? Moeller doesn't seem to have what I need (~~ 34" x 30" x 12" deep). Maybe Kracor, but I had never heard of them until a google search.

Fish . . . Marine Connection has big poly fuel tanks at $3/gallon + shipping.

if you find some let me know, Im looking for tanks for My 25 too

If Bigshrimpin's contact comes thru that would be great. Plus they would be happy with a 4 tank buy.

They said pricing is $3/gallon for Poly and $4/gallon for aluminum.

Awesome link! Have you ever used them? $3/gallon is 1/2 to 1/3 of retail that I have found, so that's great!

I bought a bunch of stuff from the store in 2004. It's all surplus stuff . . . I imagine shipping will be expensive. Strick's yellow 20cc has a Marine connection liquidators (maverick surplus) tank in it :)

I sent them an e-mail yesterday , no response as of yet

Is maverick surplus a company, or surplus from a maverick (brand/model) boat? I wonder if two tanks on a pallet wouldn't be bad to ship. I have a truck dock at work.

they emailed me,back and all they have are 36 gal 7,25"tall tanks that will fit, guess Im gonna build My own alumunum tanks.
