Was rotted almost everywhere and was leaking in the front

Isn't Formula, TAG, and Scott Smith the best???

Second to none. That's what I believe!!!

Looks Real Nice ........

Just for FYI 311 Owners I called ABYC and talked to Sam and they built some 154 Gallon Tanks For Formula 24x19x84 .... 821.00 + Shipping ....

Also you can pressure test the tank in the boat with Fuel ....
2-3 lbs overnight is ok ......m

Late 80's Formula fuel tanks have been pitting and leaking.

You can not use stainless steel for gas tanks. Have to use either allum., poly, or bladder.

That's not quite true - where I live insurance companies explicitly recommend using stainless steel over aluminum for gas tanks (and some even require it I believe).
