Do you still have that tank? Wasn’t in the neighborhood of $150 to ship? Thanks Pete.

Yeah, it was crazy money, hoping maybe someone in NE can use it eventually.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

If you would please send some dimensions and a current shipping price. I’m moving towards starting another build. Would it fit under the foredeck of LM 18. If still in the 150 range it still would be a savings over new? What did you pay? Shipping to 1107 Zunker St. Seguin, Tx 78155. Thanks Email May be easier or text. peterjdvm@yahoo.com. 512-925-9746

Hi guys I used my UPS account to calculate the shipping on the tank that BB Sig showed. Figured on a box of 32.5 x 10.5 x 12.75, this incudes the height of the fittings. Weight then becomes the issue, let it calculate from 30 -50lbs and it came up from 79 - 103 dollars, hat did not include packing materials so add another $10. So I hope that helps you guys decide on what you want to do. VT_Jeff if you can give me a more accurate weight and you both give me your exact addresses by e-mail arrowhea @ live.com I can give you an exact price. We will just add 10lbs for packaging.

I will let you guys work it out and let me know if you need me.

Thanks Tom. I brought it to the UPS store a while back and it was closer to $150 for whatever reason bit I'm going to give it another shot and see what we get.
