Default Fiberglass Fuel Tanks

Why aren't there any fuel tanks for boats made out of fiberglass?

Default Nordhavn uses fiberglass fuel tanks

The use of fiberglass fuel tanks adds to the trouble free, long-term service of the boat.

Got a real nice aluminum tank from marine connection liquidators yesterday. 22.5 x 7.5 x 72 (52 gallons) for under $200. In case anyone else is interested there are 15 - 20 more of them (they were made for maverick boats).

Dink,
They definitly have 100 gallon tanks. Give them a call with your dimensions . . . they charge $3/gallon on tanks over 60gallons.
