Replacing my 60 gallon gas tank with a 50 galon...

[jjuriga]

SO I have an '87 cuddy with a 60 gallon tank. Needs replacing and I ran across this one: https://www.oceanlinkinc.com/product...0-25-folt5007/

I'm pretty sure it will be ok for a fit, anything I'm missing?

BTW: I checked with the original company in Perry, FL and I got a quote for $1186, American dollars!! PLUS shipping, even though I would've drove to pick it up;)

I'm up for any suggestions! TIA

Seems like a good fit.

Can t believe that price from Perry. But everything has doubled in the last couple of years

Sure would not have to worry about corrosion again. I do know they expand and contract more than aluminum

What power do u have on your V ?

Was just wondering what that missing 10 gallons would do to your range

Probably not much of an issue

You know what man, I thought about that... and if I was an offshore fisherman I probably would've spent the money and gotten that 60G replacement. However, I live on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Central Florida and 50 gallons is a lot ;)

I put a 40 gallon poly tank in my V20 when I got it, worked great. Gave me all the range I needed with the super efficient Johnzuki I was running.

I found mine at Flounderpounder.com, which is a surplus dealer there in Florida, you might luck out and find one through them if they are still active.

Well, I just looked, Flounderpounder.com is now a clothing seller, oh well.
