New Tanks - Who, Where & Are you Happy?

[ohiohatteras]

Guys....been doing some searching on who makes a good aluminum tanks for replacements and came to the conclusion that it would be more thorough to just ask flat out....

So....If you recently bought some replacement tanks......who did you buy them from and were/are you happy with the quality of the tanks & service of your supplier?
Thanks!

i used atlantic coastal (www.speedytanks.com). would highly recommend them. easy to work with, delivered when promised, quality work. i know of 2 others who used them and were pleased. another friend used a local guy (long island, ny) who promised a quicker turnaraound and cheaper price, lost last season waiting when 4 days turned into 8 weeks and wrong size. good luck. if you have any questions, ask. aft cabins and sport fisherman projects have been done and discussed here. good luck.

Talked to quite a few but I have to second the Atlantic Coastal (speedytanks) recommendation. Very pleasant and competent outfit.

ksh tanks out of Arizona.
On time, on budget. I worked with them on 3 different tank configurations. best price around. They also warranty.
Ask for Brian, the owner. He will work with you...

Who ever you go with be sure they are coast guard approved.Most independent guys are not.You will need to draw out your tanks and fax to the builder and they will redraw them and after your approval then the build will start.Most times it will be 3 to 6 weeks for receiving them.R D S and Florida Marine Tanks are who we use.They have build most of the tanks marine industry aver the past 40 to 50 years.
I looked into bladder tanks for my 34 but the 3,000.00 price tag for one blew that idea. Good luck

I second the vote for http://www.kshmarine.com/.

I had them build a new 420 gallon keel tank (actually two 210gal tanks welded together at the center) in aluminum. $2000 delivered and it's beeeeautiful.
