Who lives near Flounder Pounder?

[randlemanboater]

They have a 40 gal gas tank that will fit my V for $160.00. :D But they want $100.00 to ship it to me. :o :P

Anyone near there and willing to go by and pick it up and send it to me :-/.......of course I will pay you for your time and the shipping costs.

Trying to save a buck.

I guess no one is close. :'( I am going to call another place today that has the same brand tank, see what it costs from them, it might be worth the shipping costs from what I've seen for tank prices on the internet.

[macojoe]

Yea I don't think yo will come close to a custom tank for that!!

[Franco]

I'm an hour away! Whatcha need

[macojoe]

There you go!! He trying to get a 40 gal tank shipped for less then $100

[Franco]

He ought to call Marine Connection in Ft Pierce, they have 100's of fuel tanks

I wish R'man would find a tank that'll fit, that's bigger than 40 gals...I know yer 140s a sipper, but I think the day will come you'll wish you had more ;) ...

Get physical dimensions on the tank and have a private carrier pick it up. *The $100.00 cost may be due to the physical size of the tank, not the handeling fees, and you may not have any choice. *That's alot of money if it doesn't work. *I'm closer to Flounder Pounder than Franco, but my truck is 230 miles away, or I'd gladly go there. *Will it fit in a Grand Prix? *

40 gal x 5 mpg is a pretty good range.....

I called "Inca", the company that made the one that FP has, they have a 45 that will fit and a 53, but they sell only to boat mfg's.



I might just hold off and get one made for it, but that will be mondo mula.

I'll try em.

99% of my fishing can be done with a 20 tank of gas, with left over.
But I don't go all that far, I say a normal day would be like 40 to 50 miles.

I added the extra 25 gal tank for total of 65 for 2 reasons, 1 is that sometimes I like to go Cod fishing and thats like 20 to 30 miles out, and I want to make sure thats gas is the least of my worrys when I am out there.

2nd reason is that I have the under gunnel tanks for the other 40m gal, and when one tank goes down the boat will list one way or the other. So using the 25 gives me pleanty and is centered in the middle of the boat.

[randlemanboater]

MJ,

You should plumb your saddle tanks so that you draw off of both of them @ the same time. That way your boat wont list.

Holy squid ink Batman!

I just looked at their website, if they ain't got what you need, you don't need it.

[Franco]

They have 10 times as much stuff as FP and they are only a few minutes away. I'd be happy to help you out, I can FEDEX or UPS from work. Let me know.

[randlemanboater]

Thanks Franco.....I e-mailed them my request on the 24th, haven't heard back from them yet.

[randlemanboater]

Franco,

MC still hasn't replied. I was reading their website and it says that they encourage you to come by and look for yourself.

Obviously I can't, but the next time you are going by there let me know, I'll give you my measurements and maybe you can check it out for me? ::)

[Franco]

Randleman, c'mon on down sometime and I'll take you there AND fishing! Just do try to go on a monday, they are closed! Ain't that right Reel.

[randlemanboater]

I'll keep that in mind Franco. ;)
