Yes most good marine repair shops can flush your tank. A new tank costs about $500 for the tank itself and can be bought from Florida Marine Tanks. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

When you emptied your tank, did you have it cleaned too? Do you use any gas additives? Where do you get your gas? Same place each time? Does the metal gas vent on port side near gas cap look good? I don't know if the gas tank in your boat is aluminum or fiberglass. If it's fiberglass it could be ruined from Ethanol.
