Default fuel tank

I just had Patriot Marine fabrication in Forked river NJ make me 2 new tanks for my Straight inboard. picked them up a few weeks ago

Cost about the same as your quote maybe 10% more, He did very nice work exceeding my expectations. Not the fastest but I wasn't in a rush.

I was very happy with a tank made for my Bertram by these guys in Bayville, NJ.

The guys who did my SeaCraft retired.
My inboard is a 1976 and I probably have a diagram of the tank(s)if it helps you. Be sure to replace your vent line when you do the tank. It's a pain in the butt to do but worth it. I regret not doing mine.
