I am having a moment. The kind where you grind your thumb and fall out the back of the boat only to step on a rake. I will get the new pis up. Bear/bare(?) With me

Classified / 1986 / 2020 Aquasport 170 for sale
« Last post by wingnut on Today at 10:32:21 AM »
Hey guys, after much deliberation, I've decided to rehome my beloved 170. Full restoration in 2019/2020, documented here:
https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=15320.0

Details of sale on craigslist here, with additional photos:
https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/brunswick-aquasport-170-center-console/7748163661.html

I hate to sell her, but I just found a 1977 Sisu 22 that needs a lot of love, and will take us farther offshore than this one will! PM with questions, or email through craigslist.

MIGHT - MAYBE - POSSIBLY - consider selling the bow dodger and frame separately. If you ask nicely.

Cheers, and happy summer to all!

I've had good luck with Moeller tanks, huge selection of poly tanks on their web site if thats what you're looking for.

Great Lakes Skipper and Jamestown Distributors sometimes has them on sale.

Where are you located?  If you're looking at aluminum:
In the NE that was a supplier to Aquasport - http://alloymetalworks.com/
In FL - RDS - http://www.rdsaluminum.com/index.html 
Moved from FL to NC - Florida Marine tanks - https://floridamarinetanks.com/

Look at this sub-forum - https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=5843.0

If you're looking at Poly - Moeller seems to be the brand to look at.  I bought my poly tank for the 170 from a marine surplus place. I had to modify the stringers to fit it in. Also remember you'll have to allow 1-3% for expansion in all directions once gas is pumped into it. It expands once and doesn't shrink back.

I looked in the vendor forum hoping to find a fuel tank supplier and did not. Is there more than one vendor? Surely I am doing this wrong?
