Paul was extremely professional and and knowledgeable providing peace of mind. Left impressed and would provide them any work though hopefully not needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One way to know the quality of a business is to know how they treat people. I needed an estimate for fiberglass repair and the team at ABW went above and beyond. They helped me navigate the insurance process which took a few weeks to resolve. They offered to allow me to store my ski at the shop while I worked through the process. This was a huge weight off my shoulders as I didn’t have any place to store it at the time. At every step ABW showed a genuine desire to help. You can tell this team takes pride in their work, they are honest, and they care about their customers. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for fiberglass repair work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin, Paul and Team are the real deal.  From day one, they worked with me, my budget and my timeline to repair my transom and attach my new engine bracket. With the  status of my transom, Kevin and Paul recommended repairing it with ceramic.  They quoted me a very fair, acceptable price and stuck to it.  During the whole process, they kept me informed and welcomed me into the shop to look at the progress, regularly.The finished project is a work of art, and as an added bonus, a 105mm howitzer shell would bounce off it.  I might have to rename my boat Old Ironsides II.Thanks fellas - well done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin and his team did a great job repairing some cracked/chipped fiberglass and scraped up gel coat on my bay boat. I got multiple estimates and one of the companies even referred me to Kevin after hearing how fair the price he quoted me was. They matched the dark blue color perfectly which I’ve heard is a hard color to match. He was professional and responsive throughout the process and my boat looks good as new. Thanks!

Boat fuel tank replacement in Gainesville starts with a careful evaluation

Your boat’s fuel tank is essential to keeping you on the water. When it needs replacement, American Boat Works can evaluate the tank and the access required, then discuss the right replacement for your vessel.

Our Tarpon Springs shop provides boat fuel tank replacement in Gainesville, with close attention to mounting, corrosion protection, ventilation, and testing in Florida’s coastal conditions.

What the job can include

Every boat is different. After assessing yours, we can explain the work needed for its fuel tank replacement.

01 · Assessment & removal

Inspecting the existing tank and carefully removing it when replacement is needed.

02 · Matching & installation

Selecting a suitable replacement and fitting it for the vessel.

If a standard replacement tank is not suitable, we can work with our custom tank builder to arrange a tank made to fit the boat.

03 · Mounting & protection

We replace the fuel feed, fuel vent, and fuel fill hoses with new clamps on every tank replacement. We also pay attention to tank support, moisture exposure, and ventilation.

04 · Inspection & testing

Checking the installation and tank integrity before the boat returns to service.

Why choose a fiberglass boat repair shop?

Replacing a boat’s fuel tank can mean opening the deck to reach it—and the work does not end when the new tank is installed. American Boat Works is a fiberglass boat repair shop with fiberglass construction experience. If your floor must be cut open, we can rebuild the affected structure, restore the non-skid surface, and match the surrounding color and finish. Our goal is to return a structurally sound boat along with a properly installed fuel tank and new fuel feed, vent, and fill hoses secured with new clamps, so the completed repair looks and performs as it should. That complete approach is why boat owners choose us for a tank replacement that also requires fiberglass and deck work. See our fiberglass boat repair in Gainesville page for more on that work.

Before we discuss boat fuel tank replacement in Gainesville, it helps to know when the fuel smell, seepage, or gauge trouble first appeared. Those details help us assess likely access before we talk through the work. We replace the fuel feed, vent, and fill hoses with new clamps as part of every tank replacement. Reach out with the details and we will explain how the evaluation works.

Built for coastal use

Salt air and moisture can be hard on marine equipment. We consider the installation environment and long-term serviceability when reviewing the replacement.
