Tank Replacement (New Member)

[Germanmattlanta]

Hello Everyone, I recently picked up a 1997 232 Gulfstream and I am currently going through it. I had it surveyed and had the engines (2 stroke Yamaha 150's Saltwater Series) inspected. The boat is solid but not much has been updated. I want to start by replacing both tanks and having the trim/tilt rebuilt by Five Star Marine.

Where would I get replacement tanks? Is there a go to vendor with decent pricing and good quality?

Thank you for your help!

Matt

It helps to know where you are located.

I replaced my tanks a few years back. SP Marine Tanks in Clermonte, NJ. Also Patriot Marine in Forked River, NJ.

are your trim/tilt pumps not working or leaking? If leaking, where are they leaking.

The tilt/trim units are leaking out of the seals. I can clearly see it under pressure. Why are you asking? Do you think just replacing the seals maybe the way to go? I got a quote from Five Star Marine and they anticipate it costing close to $1K per unit for complete rebuild. I only want to use these motors for a couple of years before repower.
