[QUOTE="BassMaster52, post: 248053, member: 7579"] I'm not sure of what size capacity tank you are looking for but I would lean towards buying one the is just wide enough to fit in between your ribs and strap it down. I am finding out from my alum boat mod that fabricating aluminum boxes and TIG welding is not cheap, unless you have your own brake and TIG welder. Also, just for comparison if you go the custom route, I can tell you I paid $180 for a 4'x8' sheet of 5052 aluminum, and paid another $100 to have a 2'x5' section cut and put 3 bends in it. I thought that reasonable. Also I was quoted $93 an hour for a good TIG welder. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
