1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

Fuel Tank for 17 ft Standard

Moeller makes 16 gal version that would work but was hoping for a 18 gal or larger that will fit under the seat. Hard to find for sure. Any ideas? Many thanks.

That tank is the exact same tank as the old 17.5 gallon Tempo tank jollyrog305 refers to. Note the cross referenced part numbers. Moeller bought Tempo several years ago. You can have an aluminum tank made but it will be more money.

But ultimately will do that i imagine. on another note - Have thought about converting my 17' standard to a center console (Montauk). But can't find anyone that wants to mess with it. Charleston SC area.....a little expensive as well. Is it worth it? Any thoughts...?

With the center console, you can stand up and drive the boat which is much more comfortable in choppy or rough water. You would need a console for the correct year of your hull. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=58 And then you would need the RPS. http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...oto_id=775 And then you could also put a pair of 12 gallon fuel tanks under the RPS. http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...hoto_id=68 And then you would have a Montauk that looked like these. http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=14 What year hull do you have?
