russ, u seem well versed on the tank issue and certainly more than me, but from the buzz i heard that aluminum was the best choice NOW, likely what u said a cheaper option for boat builders then, but given the ethanol issue that we are forced into now, forced into a choice. I like the idea of being less dependant on foreign oil. According to articles i've read outboard manufacturers 04' or 05' and newer tested all motors w/ a 10% ethanol mixture w/ no ill effects. 2 of the boats we run have 04' motors w/ filters/pumps/gaskets failing 20-50% faster than they should. These tests they run must have been very limited.
     My buddy down in pompano beach said he never heard of ethanol gas, is he on crack or is it only in the n east?

What's Ethanol?  I think I have seen or heard of it down here somewhere but not sure.  Not any everyday item.

ethanol is in the fuel,too help it burn cleaner..but it seams to burn faster and breaks down materials faster such as gas tanks,seals,gas lines,and anything else that it passing through.If you dont have it yet you will and be prepared to spend money ripping out fiberglass tanks,buying fuel filters,and so on..Boat prices dropped up here in jersey do to the rush to get rid of them before more problem arise from older boats..thank you goverment it would have been cheaper to raise the taxes on boating supply's

Just keep the word ethanol in your mind next time you vote...
