And nice Yammi! I have an 05 F60 on one BW 15 Sport, and an 09 F60 still in the crate for the project 15. Really want to trade it out for the new F70!!!
Thanks Again. Michael.
Gotta get downstairs and clean up the old foam from the pulled tank. Will you be reinstalling yours without any foam at all? What will you coat it with?

Yup, this is our 33rd year making tanks. Shoot me some dimensions and I can give you a quote.

Not sure where you are, but shipping is usually the difference.
I'm eager to get it in the water to try out the new motor. I'm just going to throw a temporary tank in there to get it running.
I know I'll get some flack for this, but after coating the tank, I will probably use some foam. I won't go crazy with it...just enough to keep it secure. It was my job when I was a teenager to scrape the old foam and clean up the tanks in general for scrapping. I've seen LOTS of old tanks and honestly, foam or no foam, it's about the same result. Some with foam were corroded, some not. Usually where there was a 'cushiony' type strip attached is where there was corrosion. Sometimes, it was nice and shiny under the cushion strip. The most important thing is a coating of some sort and to keep the tank compartment dry (as dry as possible...it is a boat after all) Make sure that if water can make it's way in, it has a way to drain out. Coating it certainly makes a difference. Coated tanks always fared better. That old tank that I pulled was coated with zinc chromate. I haven't decided what I will coat the new one with.
