Default Fuel Tank builders
Hello,

I have a 1971 CC that I am in the process of restoring and I am in need of recommendations for a tank builder in the Palm Beach County/ South Florida area. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

You might want to take a ride up to Marine Connection Liquidators and see if they have anything that fits your dimensions? You might not get the exact size you are looking for, but it'll be less expensive and you'll have it right away. I got a 52 gallon Aluminum tank there 13 years ago that Strick used in his 20. He was raising the floor 2" and it fit perfectly. I have no idea what their inventory looks like now, but it was awesome back then.

Nothing there anymore sadly.

Lots of old wing tanks that have been there for a while.

Sunshine or RDS can build what you want.

I used RDS in Perry, FL. Fast and very good work. They can build it out of stainless or aluminum, although stainless is very pricey and takes a lot longer.

Sunshine did a great job on the tank for my 25 contender. Only took a couple of weeks.
