I had one made at Atlantic Coastal Welding in Bayville NJ ( aka www.speedytanks.com) about 10 years ago $500. Used thicker stock and more baffles than original.

Default replacement tank

I replaced mine with a custom built tank made by Sunshine Marine
http://sunshinemarinetanks.com/
I sent them the measurements and pictures and they made an exact copy for me. It was shipped direct to me. I will look around and get you some more info and pictures. I was very happy with their work..

My mechanic got the old one out in 2 1/2 hours with the help of an engine hoist. Having a new one made locally in Reedville, VA. He put the hatch back and I gave her a quick coat of paint--want her to look half way decent with friends on board. I can fish while the tank is being built--have 20 gal tank in the forward locker. He also replaced the old drains with brass fitting and new hoses. He are a few pics.

Cool

On the issue of the drains, one thing I haven't heard anyone suggest/talk about. Go to ACE or HD or Wal-Mart or just about any hardware store and buy a set of grain strainers (the kind that fit into your sink drain at home) and put one in each of your drains. They have a large mesh screen and are perfect for catching fish scales, guts, twigs, and just about anything that would normally get caught in your drains. When they get clogged just pull them out and tap them upside down to get rid of the debris. Cheap fix to an old problem. THey look like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Peerless-...&wl13=&veh=sem

That would be really functional! My mechanic was hell bent on brass though and they were pretty expensive but cutting the new hole flush with the deck, etc was a bit of a job!
