I replaced both tanks in my CD 28-here are the potential complications-Atlantic Tank can fabricate you exact replacement tanks and ship them to you UPS-I forget who I used but I had my brother draw up a set up plans with the specs including the location and diameter of the fuel in/out and vent hoses...

Investing in CD's
I have always been told that boats were a poor investment-well guess what? stocks are not much better! nothing wrong with having a"CD" in your portfolio is there? at least you can use it and enjoy yourself and you can't put a price on that!
