Corrosion on bottom of fuel tank

[DonV]

but that's $250 I could put towards something else that would have a much greater impact on the safety/performance of the boat.

No Sir. A new tank is about as big as you can get for safety!!

What's the reasoning behind buying a new tank if the tank that is being repaired is 99.9% corrosion free and the job is being done by professionals?

As far as the baffles, they are going to slot weld them.

If there is a reason then I'm not opposed to dropping the extra money, I just don't see one.

Respectfully,

I think the concensus is obvious. You have heard from some of the most experienced guys on the site - what they would do.

If you ask enough, I'm sure you'll find someone to agree with what you want to hear - I've done that myself at times - bucking the majority. Sometimes it works out but usually I realize I have wasted a lot of time and end up doing what the concensus originally recommended

In the end, you weigh-out all the advice you receive - and do what you think.

Good luck !
