Question about Cape Craft / Key Largo Boats

[Bob1Crab]

I have a 2006 Cape Craft 17' CC that has a 35 gallon built in gas tank. Does anyone know if the gas tank is aluminum, plastic, or composite? I've asked a few dealers and get different answers and it appears the boat is not in production anymore.

Pretty sure my tank is also plastic, at least I hope it is. I don't think it is required to have a manufacturers plate attached in the boat. If you carried a copy of your specs with your registration,etc. you should be fine. The Cape Craft site has a # where they answer the phone, try calling (800) 345-0214 or (912) 384-8943. They should be able to help with your question.

I've tried to contact Cape Craft yesterday and today but both numbers are busy. Are they out of business?

Re: Question about Cape Craft / Key Largo Boats

most boats have a round access hatch over the tank at the sending unit, so you can have a look see. You should also find a plate there with the tank's capacity, year, etc. If you don't have that hatch, maybe you can see it from the hatch over the bilge with a flashlight and mirror.

Bob - I have a 17 ft '99 Key Largo (probably pulled from the same mold) and it has a 35 gallon plastic tank. Like didit said, there should be an access hatch in the floor right over the fuel sending unit. When I opened mine up mine, I even found the original tank sticker still there... made by 'Inca Products'.

didit - The "150" model is 15'3", max hp is 60, 4 people, and approx weight of 875 lb. if you have the "160" model, the length is 15'10", max HP is 75, 4 people, and approx weight of 975 lb. Either one sound like yours?

I believe the data-plate is required.

I have the same contact numbers for the factory, but you might try "Fisherman's Boat Group" (305.634.5754) in Miami for help. They're a dealer and should still be in business,... I've personally given them enough $$$ to stay afloat (pun intended) for a long time to come!
