RDS aluminum in perry

Post by kenfly »

I need to get an aluminum fuel tank for the sea ark, there make a 13 gallon that would be perfect (actually had the same tank on my pontoon that I put on it before I sold it), anyone know if I can purchase directly from them and priced a lil better than the retailers. They have gone up a good bit since last time I got one, of course I know aluminum has gone way up over last couple of years
Thanks

I’d call them, UWS, and American Aluminum and see if by chance they had a blem.

I talked to them a few years back about a casting platform. They were so busy building OEM parts that they really didn't need my business. So I went elsewhere. Could have changed but doesn't sound like it.

You might check with Marine Liquidators in Ft. Pierce http://www.themarineconnection.net/ or Metal Fabrication in Tallahassee.

They(RDS) built me a custom 70 gal tank, did everything over the phone then they e-mailed me the specifications for me to look at and sign off on and in two weeks I went and picked it up :D Give them a call

My bad. I got business names mixed up. It was not RDS that I dealt with previously on the casting platform. Metal Fabrication or Marine Connection might still be able to help with your tank needs, though, if RDS is unable to build one for you at an affordable price.

Thanks for the help fellows, I’m gonna give them a call, the 13 gallon they make is a stock unit for them, so not a special make which I know jacks the price way up, I’ll let y’all know what they say and report if need further assistance
