    Need a pair of fuel tanks :(

    I feel your pain. I'm in the process of replacing my gas tanks on a 1993 explorer 24. The main tank is being replaced and the aux tank was removed, inspected, but luckily is ok. The main tank had to be custom built. I would ask around to find the top fiberglass repair/custom boat builder in...
