Why spend all that money when you can go to your nearest Boat US Marine store and purchase one there? No more than $200 to $250 max and you got a tank in and ready to go.

Myself and about 8 others from around here did and we're all well satisfied with it.

Measure up everything and take a ride to a local BoatUS store, they'll have what you need, even the most obscure shapes and sizes complete with sending units and everything exept straps, at least they didn't mention straps to me since I brought up that I was having mine made up.

Price is right and for a Polypropeline plastic product it's strong, then again I guess as thick as the walls are it should hold. Saw one cut in half and was amazed! I was skeptical at first but after a friend who works at a boat yard beat one with a 15lb. hammer and it didn't do no more than a few dents which in 5 minutes popped back out.

All that for no more than $300 if you go with straps...cant beat it with a stick!

Mike, Boat US' site is www.boatus.com

They have a online store so the tanks should be there.
