Default Re: Gas Tank Size

Aluminum. Ordered it from West Marine. $865 delivered to SC.

The mfgs in FLA wanted about the same $$. Very pleased with the quality and construction of the tank. Built exactly to my specs & design. My friend, on 23' Sceptre bought a custom SST 140 gallon tank and regrets it. Feels now that SST was a waste of money, and 140 gallons is too much for his 250 4-stroke Yami. Generally overkill and he admits it. I was going to go back w/ an exact copy of my old 100 gal tank but decided to down size. Because I always hated the cramped access to the bilge area at the rear of the tank. So I shorten it 6" and love the access / space by the batteries and bilge pumps. Don't think I'm gonna miss the 5 gallons, as I use my boat on a interior lake and intercoastal waterways. Lots of places to get gas, unlike 75 miles out in the ocean LOL.
