i have a 1989 BW 20' Outrage. I pulled the fuel tank deck cover to replace the rotted wood and checked the tank. 3 pits that are deep and not sure if repairable. if i cannot get tank "patched" by a experienced tank builder then i iwll need a new tank.

So, question is... has anyone replaced their 20' Outrage 77 gallon tank and if so with what? new, built aluminum? or XLPE Poly tank?? details, model numbers etc would be helpful.

I would not try to repair.

Either order a new one from FMT in Henderson SC or use the existing as a template and have a local fabricator make one up.

FMT has all the specs as they made the original.

Do not use foam in the install.
