I am trying to find an inboard fuel tank for my 87 Bonita . The tank measures 5’ long x 18.75” wide x 9.75” tall. The fill is on the left side about 2 ft from the front of the tank. Anyone know where I can find one? The length can be longer or shorter I have a foot to spare at the rear of the tank. Looked at a few websites can’t find a match.

How many gallons? Does the tank have a sticker showing manufacturer and part number?

I do not see any stickers anywhere. It is an aluminum tank. According to my measurements it is a 48 gallon tank.

What is wrong with the tank you presently have? Pop up a few pictures and that may help get more ideas and suggestions. JMHO

iBoats might have something that’s close enough to drop in. But check your local google for a welding shop if you need one custom. There’s sometimes local companies who will just build one for you as a side job.

Or or if you want to go to poly (which isn’t a terrible idea) there’s some custom companies as well.

There a quite a few here in FL

Because they are.... Read the photo tutorial in the rulea and guidelines forum.

You need to reduce the size of the pic down to about 400kb
