Default Re: Gunnel fuel tanks in a 18ft SC?

I like to run out of Port Canaveral and fish the 27 fathom curve. That run is 30-35 miles out and the same back in. That does not include scouting. You also know Fl weather. I keep an eye on it but it can change in an instant. So if I have to out run, go around, or go through a storm its that much more fuel. So 50 gal is pushing it on a 70+ mile trip. 60 would be good and at 70 I would have no worries. I know the gas cans are better, but I dont like having those things above deck espc in FLA hot summers where you have to vent them.
