Default Gas Cap at bottom of Lake

ran out of gas coming off the island Saturday, and probably due to slight inebriation, dropped the gas cap in the lake during a mid-lake gas can refill.

anyone know if there are some cool Fountain logo gas caps out there? Are there different sizes depending on model? i have a 24 if that matters.

Thanks

Dan (ports)

Just a heads up, there are tons of different size caps. Threads and base sizes.

mine was 93 35' and here is info. I think I may have sent my other one and they matched it up.

Whitecap Industries....Piscataway NJ....
732-819-4666 Chris Tomao (not sure he is still there-6/99)

here's a second number...908-819-4666...diff area codes

When I got the right one sent, I then ordered 2 more just in case..

A friend of mine has a 24 with a procharger on a efi502. That little boat runs like hell. It is over the 90 mark. He pulles up to big 35's and 38 cigs and its all over. He has a smile that would take a week to wipe off. Then he goes home and gets out the 42.
