I am looking for (2) 7 1/4" steel tanks. I need HP 80's through HP 100's.:D
I am NOT looking for doubles per se.
They must be a 7 1/4" diameter MAXIMUM. No more. They need to fit into a specific rack in a friends boat and anything heavier than a steel 100 would be too heavy.
I am looking for tanks with current hydro, or certain to pass hydo, and current VIP's are preferred, although not a deal breaker if they are certain to pass VIP inspection.
These tanks will be for a friend who can no longer handle steel 130's due to a nagging back injury obtained while serving his country for over 25 years in a reasonably honorable fashion mostly saving life and property in the U.S. Coast Guard.
I regularly drive from Mobile Alabama to Fort Lauderdale Florida, so pick up is not an issue for a stop off on the 700 mile trail.
He would prefer din/yoke or yoke valves.
Shipping is not a problem if the price is right and the tanks are good.
Please send a message if you can help a worn out/old/sometimes sober (for the most part) Coast Guardsman putting a son through college on govenment pay.
Thank you.

I got the tanks I was looking for, for my worthless/old/worn out friend.
Thanks to all of you who have offered advice as to where I might find them. To all of you who offered to provide for a reasonable fee fresh from the deepest part of your garages and closets aluminum 100's, even though I specifically requested steel tanks, thank you also.:rofl3:
(Does anyone want their aluminum 100's anymore? There seems to be a lot of them available really cheap!)

Again thanks, you know who you are if you offered advice and product.
Chug :)
