Re: Fuel tank replacement
Steve,
OUCH a THOUSAND for a new tank. What they say about Florida is right... Everything boating IS cheeper. I can get a surplus tank from one of the above mentioned companies for about $200.00.

THIS is why i want to get a bbbbbbig box truck and start haulin crap from there to here. Like I 've said before you walk around here bent over all the time, if you know what I mean. Try and fix up a boat around here you better have deep pockets.

Re: Fuel tank replacement
Briguy,In my opinion if you go with a doublewide body flotation bracket it will lift the back of your boat up. I went with the single wide body and gaind 1 and a half inches and double wide has more flotation. I now of a guy with a 23 that put on a Armstrong double wide body and the stern was lifted to were the bottom of the boat at the stern is even with the water line,it raised his stern about 3 inches. What some folks do is set the bracket and inch or so lower than usual to get more lift.Capt D.

Re: Fuel tank replacement
Scott, I need to find out exactly what wall thickness the new tanks from Aquasport, Chris-Craft and Wellcraft are made from. I can ask at the Marine Surplus store.
Reel Smoker, What will the wide bracket with flotation cost me?

Re: Fuel tank replacement
Capt. Brian
Thanks for checking on that fuel tank... now I'm going to get picky...How close to 76x28x12 can they get (110 gal)...If you can get them for that cheap It would be worth it to have one shipped up here... If I can find my info on the brackets I will post costs here....If you go to Stainlessmarine they have prices on the site. Plus somewhere buried in this site is a post that Trayder made with a list of all the different manufacturers of brackets... On a side note I too would like that poster...and interested to see that article you spoke of... Scott.

Re: Fuel tank replacement
Heres another link that Trayder had mentioned about brackets...I do not know how good these brackets are but they are less than some of the other companies...
These guys must be pretty confident in their product...as he has all the links to other bracket manufacturers on his site. http://www.dadmarine.com/index00.htm

Re: Fuel tank replacement
A man I know here had a boat made in maine[23].Deep v full transom bkr.It made the stern float so high that the rain water went to the bow. HE had to put 250# lead in it just so the water would drain out.I know what what your sayin but its true. He didn't keep the boat.
