89 23cc fuel tank

Fellow-Ship, Tell me that you replaced your tank five years ago, because I'm getting quotes of $9/gal. My tank is 10x28x116. That comes out to $1200 140/gal. Where can I get one for $5/gal???? Now you can see why I keep talking about trying to glass it. I have a friend that owns a marina up north ,so I'm going to hold off a couple of days before I commit to the $1200. I hope he can get me one at wholesale. The tank I found at 30" wide almost fits. The measurements are 30.5" between the stringers except where the filler hose comes in. There it narrows down to 29". That idea is scrapped. I might just shell it out for the big tank. I can fish 2 days hard without refueling. $1200!! I could put myself through welding school!!!
