what makes you think your tanks need replacing?

regarding the aluminum fuel tanks in your proline, I would start with them or find one of the specialty fuel tank manufacturers.

Well I had them pressured tested the boat mechanic said all was good he checked every thing and I mean everything. But boat still leaks out gas when I fill them up. But it stop leaking after about between 30 minutes after I run the the boat and after that no leak I am just worried someone said might be over filling the tanks. But that what I thought tthe vents lines are for to vent out instead gas goes to bilge pump

Had the same thing happen to me. Turned out to be the fill hoses. Looked fine from above. Once removed, the under side (touching the floor) had rotted to the point the the hose reinforcement wires where starting to rust and poked thru the outer jacket of the hose.

If your fill hoses where like mine,you'll to be a contortionist

Your vent hose may have a kink in it or it's plugged up. Bugs have habit of building nest in the small hoses.try not to fill your tank wide open, squeeze the lever to slow the fuel going into your tank.

You need to find the source of the leak before you spend good money on it. If they hold pressure why would you replace the tanks? Pressure test the entire system from the filler down stream after plugging the vent.
