Resale is in the back of my mind, although not a priority as i intend to keep this boat for a while. Also - i already have a fully restored 23 Seacraft with new 4 stroke power for offshore use.
For me - range will never be a problem as i won't be going far enough in this boat to push it.
How would YOU feel about having a 50 gallon fuel tank?

50 is plenty . . . I have never burned more than 38 gallons (121 miles) in one trip and you'll get much better fuel economy with the zuke. Push the tank as far forward as possible.
