I've been searching the site for some answers, but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I recently took out the 40 gallon tank of my 21' 1978 Outrage due to corrosion, and I'm looking for a plastic replacement that will fit where the original tank was. Has anyone done this before? Could anyone point to a product that they know works? I was directed to kracor by a boat mechanic, but they were not helpful.
A plastic tank is not suggested since they will not fit the cavity. In my 10 years of membership, I have not read of a company that makes a plastic tank that will fit.
An aluminum tank can be ordered by the original manufacturer (Florida Marine Tanks) or made by a local fabricator.
Given you are on the west coast, FMT will be too expensive (shipping cost more than tank cost). I would find an aluminum fabricator and provide them with the original to use as a template.
Florida Marine Tanks did the new tanks for my 21 and my 25 but the shipping to the West Coast will make it prohibitive. An aluminum fabricator can build a new one off the old tank.
