1st time 17 Aquasport(1981) owner replacement advice.

I’m looking to replace my existing 27 gallon original tank. Is there a supplier that has an aluminum or plastic tank in stock? What are my options? Love this ole boat!

Welcome aboard RR 

Where are you located?  There are several manufacturers of aluminum OEM tanks. Shipping can be a big cost if you order from the wrong one. Figure $10/gal in aluminum and of course don't be surprised of that price has gone up, like everything else.

Riverrunner23,

Capt Bob gave me this info for a fabricator out of Farmingdale. NY.

" Phil (if he is still around) is an early member of the Forum and has made quite a few tanks for members. Shipping may be a sticking point but it doesn't hurt to get a quote to see what's out there". 

You could also look on Ebay, Wholesale marine and Great lakes skipper out of Mi.

 Don’t know your layout,a friend just installed a 24 gal Polly tank he got on line and
It now live in his flip cooler seat.

That’s creative. Is that the rear helm seat or the seat in the center console? Where did he get the tank and what model? Thanks much

I’m pretty sure it’s on Amazon, red Polly tank.  Rear seat @helm
