1984 ospey 170 fuel tank

[JonnyB]

Does anyone have the fuel tank model of a 1984 osprey 170 ? To give you some history I bought the boat for $1500 with a good running 1989 Evinrude 88HP motor on it but it needs some cosmetic work and fuel tank replaced. 2 days after it was purchased I was sent to Hawaii on a road job until Dec. so my plan was to have a new tank built and waiting when I returned but they need the model number of the tank to build it and right now I am 4000 miles from the boat.

We usually don't work from model #s (but you can find hem on tanks), we use dimensions so.....

PS... I'm moving this thread to the Fuel Tank forum.

Good luck and don't forget to post some pics showing your replacement.

Thanks for the information Capt. Bob. I may have to wait until I remove the tank to order a new one because it will have to be built and I prefer to not have to get it built twice due to I know the tank dimensions can vary year to year.
