Boat was delivered to my house Sunday. Very small punch list; replace nav light bulbs with LEDs (or replace both units), tape and caulk deck seams, put in half tank of fuel to test tank, sending unit, and re-installed Yamaha gauge. All in, including new Carver winter cover, I will be right around $5000. Throw in a couple days of my barter labor and some materials. It is nice to have skilled friends in the business! I could easily see someone getting charged $10k for such a job. I hope this helps others who find this thread as a result of searching and researching their own tank replacement as I did not have a lot to go on.
