Re: GAS TANKS
RB,
The price for a custom fabricated v20 aluminum tank is about $600 in New Jersey. This tank would be an exact copy of the 60 gallon original tank but with thicker aluminum. (1/8" vs the thinner Wellcraft original equipment) Of course, since I keep my V in NJ, taking the old tank to the fabricator and having him copy it is not a problem. I don't know where you live but there are alot of metal fabricators in NJ and unless you really live in the bushes there is probably one near you that can do the fabrication. By the looks of your V, it appears to be a 1983 to 85 outboard model. I have an 84 outboard V and I have the exact dimensions of my 60 gallon original Wellcraft tank recorded somewhere. When I find the dimensions, I will post them in this thread. The width and length of the original tank are very close to the 31" X 43" hatch opening in the floor. Getting the tank in and out is a PITA because the hatch opening is just alittle bigger than the tank.
