I recall reading during my research that RDS Aluminum in Florida makes the tanks for Mako and still has all of the dimensions etc.. on file to build replacements. Id look them up and give them a call if you want an exact replacement for the original tank.

Highly doubt that place will have.
You probably want to go aluminum. Poly has problems, though can't remember whether durability, or size, or other.
Keep the old one as a model for size and fill/vent locations, and have your local tank shop make up a new one.
Post where you are, and others here could probably suggest some tank makers to try.
Good luck!

Call Lucy at Sunshine Tanks in Medley,FL. She was a pleasure to work with on the tank for my 1975 M20 project.
They are very knowledgeable on these boats. Mine was well made and securely crated for shipment. I'm sure they probably have the original dimensions.

It's the marine connection.com. with no spaces. I don't know why it didn't post like I spelled it the first time.

I would try www.the*nnection.com. I'm gonna be calling them for a replacement as well. Their web site looks like they could help you.
