Source for fuel tank

3 years ago I paid a little less than 10 bucks a gallon, at the time some shops had 12 week lead times. I used "john p downs"(a fab shop in lauderdale) they do nice work.

I'd start with local aluminum fabricators.

There aren't any around here. Based on what you guys are saying 10ish a gallon is the going rate. My tank is 80 gallons...gulp. Man that's alot for an aluminum box.

I recently used Atlantic Coastal Welding in Bayville NJ and amvery happy with the product. Your price/gallon is about what I paid. They have a good website with installation tips. Good luck!

Locate a west coast boat manufacturer. Right now they're pretty much looking for cash flow anywhere. Many of them have a variety of aluminum and poly tanks in stock. Find one a bit smaller than you have that will fit into the space, and then mount it. You can foam it in or not.

My neighbor recently bought a new (surplus) poly tank from a local boat builder for his old 18' Hydrosports. He had a 72 gallon v-bottom aluminum tank and replaced it with a 55 gallon flat-bottom tank he bought for $200. Add in the tank mounting deck, fuel gauge sender, and new hoses and wiring and it was still under $300.
