My original comments:

Notes on the boat: Originally one of 6 jackshafted diesels, 4 seperate gas tanks totalling 200 gallons(may be too little considering the motors )100 gallons where the Volvo sat and 2 saddle tanks below deck, extra fish box custom built behind original bow storage step, 3 inch drain scuppers that where routed through the original exaust baffles (I found my 3 inch drain plugs in the plumbing section @ Ace hardware), jackplates on both motors
Jason- Here is the boat history. I think that based on the unique configuration, the boat was fished daily, charter fishing out of Miami in it's original life. When the guy here in bradenton got it, he pulled the Volvo motor and outdrive and just glassed in the transom opening, dropped the motors on the bracket, 100 gals under the console and that was about it. He fished the SKA with it down here before he bought his Contender..........
