I have to replace the tank in my 2000 Outrage 23. I need the measurements. Does anyone know of a replacement palstic tank. 165 gallons.

Just curious, why are you needing to replace the tank. I thought plastic lasted longer than aluminum. I need to replace the tank in my 1995 24 Outrage which is aluminum and was planning to use a plastic to replace. I have been looking at Moeller tanks since they have a large selection.

I highly doubt you will find an existing plastic tank that will fit the cavity.

I have been watching members try to find plastic tanks for 15 years
but to date, there are none available.

An aluminum tank will last 25-40 years. If you add a coating, longer.

Florida Marine Tanks in Henderson, SC may have the template but the shipping will make it very pricey. Worth checking.

Consider removing the exisiting tank and take cavity measurements and get a local fabricator to make one.
