We've done this swap at the Active Thunder factory specifically on a 28 Skater before. If you would like a quote, let me know.

It's a helluvan undertaking.

BTW, he doesn't 'replace the tank(s)', he basically is just ripping up the floor and putting on a new coating on the tank walls that isn't affected by ethanol.
I had my tanks done at Skater before Ethanol ( preventative maintenance) They cut the top off,remove the baffles,grind out the tanks,re-glass the tanks with the New Resins,install New Baffles,and a New Tank lid.A lot of Messy Work well worth the $$ I paid $5,500. + shipping back in 2008.
