Gas tank replacement 1999 270 fiesta

robcrobc Member Posts: 10
went to c&d marine on Long Island to check on the install of new gas tank. Could not be happier with the progress and workmanship. New tank in decking closed. They showed me what was needed and replaced on engine. All parts were waiting there for my inspection. Engine running better than ever with new oil pan, fuel pump impella and flywheel. Engine going in this week
thanks C& D

    Robc- I would love to see some picture of the work they had to do. I have a 2002 FV270 and the thought of a corroding gas tank haunts my dreams!! Good luck and please post more info(and cost of job if willing to share!). If you're on the south shore maybe I'll see you out on the water this season....

    I had a slip in the Anchorage Yacht Club when I bought my first boat a few years ago... Hemlock Cove was our favorite place to go. We stop by there every now and then, but we're usually in the Davis Park area now.

    Boat is done excellent job. 3100 for the tank job. While engine out new oil pan, pulleys , fuel and water pump flywheel had broken teeth so they had one from junk motor,plugs wires etc. 
    For all including pulling storing for winter, winterizig shrink wrap out drive serviced and painted and spring drop in 6k
