Ok, got the center console off today. Then I went beach fishing.
Time to start hacking at foam. Think I'll need some sort of frame to remove the tank? Bobcat? |

Pressure washer. Blast the foam out.

Yeah, I've heard of the pressure washer theory. Might have to give it a shot.
Anyone have good luck with the plastic tanks? I don't really know the pluses and minuses vs. aluminum. I know some people have gone with the plastics, but is there anything to look out for? |

Ok, most of the foam is cut,
I can slide (with a 2x4 as a pry bar) the tank fore and aft a bit, and I got it up about an inch or so on one side. Think I'm gonna wait for help before trying to get it out any further. Measures about 8" x 24" x 60" Making (slow) progress. Man there's some nasty stuff in there! only a couple of rot spots, nothing too bad, but I think there is about 30 years worth of rotting leaves where the engine rigging runs through! |

Has anyone here ever dealt with SpeedyTanks.com in NJ?
I think they are called Atlantic Coast Welding. They sent me a very prompt, reasonable sounding quote, in about 3 hours. Just have to find out what the shipping would be. Unless anyone from Jersey happens to be driving up to the Vineyard anytime soon. (Hint Hint) |

I had a 20 gal aux. tank made by them for my 24 Topaz. I specified what i wanted in terms of shape, thickness, etc. Did have a quality issue as they shipped the tank with a stripped/cross-threaded fitting at the pick-up. However, they did repair quickly and paid shipping, etc. Overall seemed to be OK - not bad quality for the price and quick turn. They were the least expensive of the three places I contacted. Some of the welds on the repair could have looked a little better but really more cosmetic than functional -at least I hope so.
