Ha Dink
I put in a 84 x 28 x 12 tank in my 23 CC fit perfect with out loosing the hatch in front of the center consol. I moved by tank forward approx 12 to 18 “ forward from the transom area and increased length from 72 to 84” by doing that I redistributed the center balance of my boat forward plus added more gas now approx 117 gal. I also put two batteries and 15 gal fresh water tank under the CC which also moved weight forward. Then I built a live well and moved it from the transom to where the newer SeaCrafts have their live well directly behind the leaning post seat. All this moving weight forward has caused my boat to ride much better in the water. If you look at this picture you will see how she how evenly sits in the water.
