The SS was a good Idea ...With Some of the Pounding my 311 takes I would want all the support I can get. Also the Original settup did last 28 years ......m

Was rotted almost everywhere and was leaking in the front

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.

Well Shes Done. All I need is Gas MONEY .. Since it only has five gallons in there...

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).
