2470WA Fuel Tank Replacement

Postby abixler » Wed Jul 22, 2020 3:49 pm

Hello fellow Pursuit owners. I have a "new to me" 2004 2470WA that I have had possession of for 2 weeks today. Last Thursday I discovered that the fuel tank is corroded thru and when the tank is full the gasoline pours out! Obviously, this is not something I knew when I purchased the boat.

I'm in Jacksonville, FL and I'm desperately trying to find a quality shop to complete this fuel tank replacement work.

If any of you have been thru this and have recommendations I'm all ears! (or eyes since I will be reading it)

Thanks!
Alan

I have the same Pursuit model (2001) and dread the day that happens but know its coming.. I located a source for a replacement fuel tank during IBEX (boat builder trade show) last year:

Florida Marine Tanks
Daniella Jones, Customer Service Mgr.
dfiori@fmtanks.com

Hope this helps and Good luck with the repair,

Tripp

Interested in this as well.
I have a 2000 2270 Kodiak. Found a rotted bulkhead aft of the tank & it was replaced & glassed in at Lambs Yacht Center in Jacksonville.

Hi
I also own a Pursuit 2470 WA (2000) was wondering how the replacement worked out and the approximate cost? My tank is not leaking but I feel I am on borrowed time.

I know this is an old thread but there's a place in Jacksonville I would recommend and that is Sadler Point. 904 384 1383
