How much for a 80 gallon tank out of 3/16. It's a centerline tank with a slight vee in the bottom comes out of a 25B.
Thanks

I just had a stainless tank built by nautic marine in florida for $2250. Alum is cheaper but I worry about the unresolved inpact of 15% or higher ethanol

Andy,

It looks like your concerns are valid. Check out this 1997 study on Aluminum tanks:

How did the new SST tank come out? Have you gotten it yet? Have you tried to fit it into the boat?

I'm going to pick it up today at the trucking depot. I'll let you know how my measurements worked out.
