Good plan. 66 here tonight with a strong NE wind off the Atlantic.

Nice breath of temporary fresh air.

sounds like it's comin along nicely, once all the old stringers & problem spots are out of the way should move along easier.
60 gallons sounds pretty huge for a belly tank in that boat- with the original stringer layout I had trouble finding a +/- 30 gallon tank that would fit, the original was 26 gallon under the console.  If you can avg 3 mpg I'd think 30 gallons would be plenty, but if you can work the stringers around a bigger tank nothin wrong with that.

I picked up a pretty nice deal on a Moeller thru Jamestown Distributors or Greatlakes Skipper, can't remember which now but shipping was reasonable.
Amazon has them now & then too, sometimes with free shipping!

If you've got the time, you can scroll thru all the Moeller tanks ever made, gotta click on the MOE part number to get the LxWxH though.  And remember to add a couple inches to the height for the filler neck.

i also bought my fuel tank from Great lakes skipper, was exactly what i was looking for and the price couldnt be beat.

I checked Great Lakes skipper and he did not have the style I was looking for and wants to much. I am looking for a similar take as my 222 with the fill/vent on one end and the pick up on the other with the sender near the pick up. I know that Marine Liquidators sells their poly tanks for 2.50-3.00 a gal which is much cheaper than anywhere I found. I have a 35 poly tank that is a rectangle but does not have the volume as I want a 50-60 gal if possible. This way it will have a similar range as my 222 when done.

I got my Moeller from Marine Connection.    72x24x7 I believe, 50 gallons.  They are NOT on the Moeller site's list (I emailed them to get an official sender depth, I think they were custom tanks?), but im pretty sure MC has a couple still there.    All the connections are near the front of the tank though...

Don't forget about Marine Surplus in Ft Meyers and Sarasota - bunches of poly tanks (and other things too   ).

I think the Prisma preforms are a brilliant idea.

The tank looks to be in decent shape  
I can't help you on the photobucket image - if it were stored here I could help.
