Default Re: Refurbishing a sunk 23 Center Console

Hey Dink-

No, I did not order a tank from Kentfab. However, I did have them make me a casting pulpit/station last fall and it came out really well. When I was there picking up my boat, I was able to see the quality of their tanks first hand and was quite impressed.

I have seen tanks from some of the florida manufacturers and the welds were okay. Plus, they often get beat up in the shipping process and the shipping costs almost negate any savings vs. the Florida manufacturers.

Lastly, when you do get a new tank...you may want to consider going with .190" thickness aluminum versus .125" thickness, which is standard for a boat our size. Obviously, the tank will weigh more than the original but it will be more sturdy.
