New Fuel Tank: How much?
#1
Any rough estimates on how involved and how expensive it would be to take a 27' boat with a fiberglass fuel tank, open up the floor, clean it out, and place a new aluminum tank might be?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not sure about the labor part, but I just had a 260gal aluminum tank built for $3200.
I would venture a guess to say that your tank is not that large. It definitely pays to shop around. I had estimates from $3200 to $6500+ for the same tank.

Fabricate 1 aluminum 110 gal tank..... $1100
New floor exactly like original. All new hoses & fittings. $4,000.
I don't think I got a deal but it is perfect like new.
. It was a very big & messy job on a 31 Sutphen, had to chop the floor out

Itr will probably depend a lot on what needs to be done to the floor. On my Pantera, the center section of the floor that covered the tank was a separate piece that could be easily removed and then screwed and caulked back in. If you've got to cut and reglass, its gonna get more expensive.
