Looking for tanks

[carrielsal]

I am looking for 2 Faber HP100's. Anyone have a set laying around that you want to get rid of?

Why Faber's? I ended up picking up new Worthys for under $300/each. One of the local scuba shops had double 100 Worthys for $700, but that was last year, I am sure they are gone. Craigslist had a Worthy 120 for under $200, I saw it earlier this week. Good luck with your search.

I tried out a set of these tanks when I was in Florida. They are taller, thinner tanks. I am pretty tall myself, and I liked the way they sat further down on my back. I have never tried worthingtons, but if I'm going to spend the money for another set of doubles, I'm going to buy what I know worked well for me. I have a set of Faber 95's, but I don't like how short they are.

I am 6'-4", and the Worthys trim out very nice for me, but this might not be so for someone with a different build and dexterity.

I agree with trying out different tank. My tanks will probably be Worthy 120s or Faber 133s.

I rented a set of PST112's in Florida. OMG, they were huge. Way too big for me. I'm
5'9". I really liked the Fabers.

The only 112 listed on TDL is an OMS LP. I personal favor LP over HP under certain conditions, but will never own one. Any shop here can fill a HP steel. The Worthy 120 is a 7.25" diameter, and about 28" long, which is 4" longer than a Worthy 100 or 3" longer than a Faber FX100.

I am not starting a LP versus HP arguement, but I am assuming you are looking for Faber FX-100 which are equal to Worthy X7-100. If I had the money to buy the Worthy X7-120 on craigslist, it would have been gone by now, but I don't and have to pass on it.

I hadn't thought about Worthington's. I looked at the spec's and they are very similiar, so a set of X7-100 would also work.

I have a set of PST X7-100's but they're not lying around. They were strapped to my back this afternoon for the first time and they can be described as "SWEET".

Good luck with your search!
