After having the 80hp Merc bog down half a dozen times last year (blow out the fuel filter and all's ok) and with finding the corrosion around all the fittings of the tank, I'd be happy with any Poly tank that would fit. I'd love to extend my range with a larger tank but the stringers won't stand for it. The max dimensions for any replacement v-style tank are 26W x 47L x 7 1/2H including fill necks. I've looked at Tempo but no good fits so far. No luck at three different marinas either and the Moeller web site is offline. Todd who?..I haven't heard of them.
Oh yea, dallen is now dallenx.

Bobfish: I looked at the Moeller tank but it doesn't say if it's a box style or a v-style. I'm trying to find something like the Tempo TP29. The floor was the original 7-ply(?) 3/4" marine plywood, riveted to the stringers then the grey vinyl floor was glued in place. The floor crumbled in my hands when I pulled it up. The worst damage was to the right/left of the center console bait well, just under the kick boards. Thanks for the help.

I measured the boat again and it's at 21'6" so does that make it a 22footer? I also figured the mileage out to be 1.5mpg at full throttle on the '88 Merc 80hp. You're right, I'd rather have a 'tin' boat almost anyday, especially when you have to run up on the rocks to find the nearest tree, er..I mean restroom. I talked to Tempo and they can't help. I talked to Overton's who deal with Moeller and they said that once in a while they can get a special tank made and that they'd look into it and let me know. Heck, I even talked to a place called INCA but they only do wholesale. I talked to STARCRAFT and was directed to their Tech Support but then they never called back. Is there a way to save an aluminum tank? How about that forum?
