Cost to replace a fuel tank on a 28' Skater
 

Hey guys have any of you had Skater replace your fuel tank on a 28' if so what was the cost?

Thanks

I have heard the number $10,000 more than once. It is a big job. If there is hull damage such as soaked core the cost goes up.

I have heard $7k at Skater and as low as $4500 at an independent. Both of those were with no damage from the fuel.

Skaters price is $6,500.00 with no fuel problems

Can't get a better answer than that! Thanks Blume!:coolcowboy:

When I talked to Peter about it he told me it depended on the size of the boat. He said on a smaller model (24/28?) it would be less than on a larger 40+. I think he said pricing started at around $5500.

BTW, he doesn't 'replace the tank(s)', he basically is just ripping up the floor and putting on a new coating on the tank walls that isn't affected by ethanol.

Ouch !!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off the phone with him and he said $6,500.00 for a 28' Skater. The process is a little more involved than that.

Cant you just strap on some of those outboard tanks like the Toons use.
Squeese your balls and Go

Now thats funny !!!!

Mine was 7k. I guess lunch wasn't free after all..

We've done this swap at the Active Thunder factory specifically on a 28 Skater before. If you would like a quote, let me know.

It's a helluvan undertaking.

Was it a Happy meal ??

Ha ha! Good one! :drink:

It was spaghetti across the street from DMC but you cant beat the company if your a cat guy!

I had my tanks done at Skater before Ethanol ( preventative maintenance) They cut the top off,remove the baffles,grind out the tanks,re-glass the tanks with the New Resins,install New Baffles,and a New Tank lid.A lot of Messy Work well worth the $$ I paid $5,500. + shipping back in 2008.

7k for mine last july

you must have NOT bought lunch.

Do drinks at LOTO Skaterfest count as lunch?

yes, drinks on Pete...................
