Is this boat new to you (i.e. did you just buy it only to discover it had a bad fuel tank)? If so, I would think you would want to have a discussion with the seller through the dealer than was consigning it and work something out.

If this is something you have had for a while, I would try the portable fuel tank option to start and see how it works before ripping things up and putting in a new fuel tank. I assume a boat like that would have something in the 40/50 horsepower range and given the age it would likely be a four stroke. Could get a couple of six gallon tanks and run all day on that.

I know there is a Key Largo dealer in the area you could touch base with. Would be curious to know what it would cost to do a replacement.
