Re: fuel tank for 20' Seafari
FWIW, I just got prices from 7 vendors for a new tank for my 20' SeaCraft SF (about 47 gallons, net). Spec's were welded aluminum, grade 5052, 0.125 thick, 1 baffle, 1 fill, 1 vent, 1 pick up and 1 sender mounting plate, 4 mounting tabs, epoxy coated, pressure tested, Coast Guard standards, etc. Four of the prices came from vendors in New England and they ranged from $600 to over $850. All of these were pick up (no shipping) and a couple of them didn't include coating; they just didn't want to get into that. The other 3 prices were from NJ (2) and FLA. They ranged from $425 to $500. I did business with a firm in NJ; $485, including shipping (2 days via UPS ground). Tank arrive last Friday. It's right to my measurements, looks good, but I won't know if it leaks until the weather warms up a little!
