Post Aluminum fuel tank
Looking to get a gas tank built for the front of my boat. Any suggestions on who to contact. I talked to a couple guys and got prices. I'd like to get something built to fit right behind my front deck.

Any local fab shop should be able to build one. If not I bet Willet or Dfou would build something like that.

Personally, I built mine, I would not put the lips on the top. You could cut some cost by not having that. When you start adding all kids of small angles and such, its more welding and more bending. Just make a box and use it like a step to the front deck. Not sure how big you want, but those lips cant add that much fuel to be worth it. JMHO though.

The lips aren't meant to hold fuel. Its to act as a deck extension to fill the gap between the front deck and the box lids

And this is one of Darren's boats. I got his price. Just being an informed consumer is all.
