This is a 70 gal. From the CC forward to the casting platform.

I would also like to add a larger tank I currently have a 45 gal under deck but it seems that I run not really nose down but not really up(if that makes sense).
I would like a larger tank but am worried about more wieght in the front as I will also be moving the console up from were it was placed now.
The prior owner says he moved it back because he felt the boat ran nose heavy.

Maybe trim tabs?? would help

I moved the gas tank and CC forward to distribute the weight better because of the larger motor being installed. Adding trim tabs are money well spent. I don't have a problem with the bow being heavy.

Hey, I resemble that remark. I only maintain this weight so the boat doesn't get to light and want to fly. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
