Super Sport Gas Tanks

Keeping track of the gas and switching between tanks is a pain since we use the boat as a commuter to an island. My daughter ran one dry the other day and had a heck of a time restarting the engine. The Super Sport has an optional 19 gallon single tank that looks pretty nice. It's a $500 option and the cheapest I've seen it for sale separately at Whaler dealers is $1200 which is about 3x what similar tanks cost (that don't quite fit). Does anyone know the source for that tank? As an alternative is it possible to plumb the current tanks to draw from both at once?

I can't find any tank close to those dimensions. Most are too wide. I'm amazed how much space there is in this boat in general.

Include install and gold plated gas line? Ouch. Personally I would call Sue Lodel, Parts Manager and Parts GOD to all whaler owners at Twin Cities Marine and ask her to price the OEM tank option alone. www.beacontcm.com Edited by Phil T on 06/23/20 - 3:02 PM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

Is there room? If not... Would this fit if you removed the seat stiffner (add stiffner underneath seat) https://www.easternmarine.com/moeller...ank-031818 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
