Donedeal, same issue with the purchase and then the leak. ok here's where I'm at now! the work is being done by MarineMax big yacht service yard next door to Derecktors in Ft. Lauderdale. The floor is cut out and the tank is out. The tank had a salt hole in the far starboard corner at the bottom. The tank was made by Skyline in Utah. to have them make the tank it will be $2500 plus $300 for shipping. well that wasn't going to happen so I checked with Florida marine tank. they said that they had made tanks for my boat and they have the plans to make it. Samething $2500 plus shipping of $200. FYI Florida Marine tank has moved to North Carolina. end result, i was able to get specs on my tank and I'm having it made here in Ft. Lauderdale for $2300 and that includes having the tank coated with rubberized coating. regarding your tank, REPLACE IT!!!! do not go through all that work and hope it holds. if you have access and can get the tank out without cutting the deck, just change it. If you have to cut the boat to get the tank out REPLACE THEM BOTH.
OH My ordeal will set me back $8000 - $9000 when all done 1995 Tiara 2900 Crusaders 7.4 MPI 454 Marlin tower all worth the pennies for now.
