Does anyone have a good lead on a sub floor gas tank?  The best deal I found was at Boaters Outlet.  $284 for a new Moeller 28 gallon.

I have dimensions of rougly 26"w x 72"L x 8"h to work with.  I don't mind used as long as it's clean...

UPDATE:

Some "person" on e-bay just informed me that he accidentially forgot to remove his posting for the gas tank I bought after he sold it to someone else.  Of course he informed me of this AFTER I had sent my paypal payment of $234 to his account.  So...  now I have to chase all over to try to get my money back.  In the mean time, I have no tank on the way.


GRRRRRR....

Well, the good news is you used PayPal.  You should be able to cancel your sent payment...unless he already withdrew the funds...then, well, you'll need PayPal's help getting it back.  I've had that happen once, and PayPal support staff were very helpful.

Unfortunatly, I used my credit card rather than my bank account for the transaction and on CC purchases, it doesn't allow you to cancel the transaction.  Thankfully, the item did qualify for buyer protection and he sent me an e-mail admitting to his fault.  Now it just depends on if he sends the money back...

I use my CC too...so don't feel bad about that...you can easily dispute the charges and its an added layer of protection.

UPDATE:

I got most of my money back...  Unfortunatly the guy sent the money in a way that got me a $7.09 charge off of the origional $234.  I sent him a new invoice.  Annoying, but at least I got most of it back so far!

God that sucks, but $7.09 is a heck of a lot better than $234!

He should be able to do a "refund" which does not cost anybody anything.

Blessing in Disguise:

Well, I took Jerry's advice and called TC Outboards.  I drove down there this morning with Lisa and picked up a nice aluminum 30 gallon tank for an amazingly low $85.00

I even got my $7.09 back from the e-bay guy.  Needless to say, I'm pretty pleased.  For the little bit of hassle I had to deal with, I was able to save a pretty substantial amount of money, and ended up with something that is just what I need!

Here are a few pictures...

Glad I could help. Wish I had known you were headed this way you could have checked out my GT 160. James is a great guy we camp with him sometimes at Fish Lake Campground. Did you check out the props on the wall?

Yes, The trailer is new to me...  It's a factory Glastron aluminum trailer that Shorty bought to work on and put under a boat that he wanted to get.  It needs new cross members as the boat that was on it got hit by a car and bent up some of the crossmembers and the bunks.

Nice thing about it though is that it was a V-195 (just like mine) that was sitting on it...  So, it's a factory Glastron aluminum trailer already setup for my boat (that needs work)  :)

I'm awfully glad you suggested it...  It was really a spur of the moment thing.  I wasn't planning on going today, but lisa and I had 2 hours to kill, so there it is.  I did look at the props, but since mine is a LH rotation and I have 2, I didn't look to much.  Nice collection though!

For bedding in the stringers, floor and transom I used 3M fast cure 5200 sealant adhesive. that stuff is AWSOME.  A coworker used that stuff to seal the bolts that hold on the outboard motor, well when it came time to remove the motor from the boat and the bolts were out and he started lifting the motor off, some of the 5200 must have gotten between the boat and motor and started to lift the boat OFF THE TRAILER! No BS that 5200 rules!   Looking good Brian.

Well...  Here is the latest...  I pulled the boat out of the garage to get some work done on the stringers this afternoon.  I got the ones out that were bad, and was feeling pretty good because it looks like I won't have to replace the part side stringers.

THEN...  I started to pull out the floatation foam in the stern and found a spot on the starboard side stern where the transom plywood is exposed and soft.  I'm pretty frustrated.  It's the outboard most section of the transom plywood where the two main starboard stringers meet the transom.  The fiberglass let go and allowed the moist foam to just sit agains the wood.

I feel a bit defeated and I'm frustrated because I feel like I need to fix it and can't just pass over it.  However, I really didn't want to have to do the transom.

Thoughts???

I've got a lead on a V-212 that is in pretty good shape that needs a motor...  Might go that route.  Who knows.
