Default Re: fuel tank

I've got an '85 Scepter 23' and she has 144 gal. I'd like to split in two, say 50 gal aft and 70-80 forward; both of them on the center line. The reason is that I have always stored full over the winter and 140 gals is close to 1000 lb. That is more than we generally need most trips. I figured keeping the aft tank empty most of the time would cut down on the weight I'd be needlessly pushing around most of the time and move what gas weight I do carry forward to offset some of the weight of the I/O.
