Bobfish,
Looks like we have the same boats and the same powerplants.

Where abouts in L.I are you?,My son lives in Sayville.I'm trying to talk him into getting a boat,naturally a Seacraft.It may be a losing battle however,with a two year old and another possibly on the way.
I keep telling him that my grandson deserves a Seacraft.His wife has a different opinion however.

I would think that you could lengthen the fuel compartment by extending it forward,and possibly a bit rearward eliminating the fish /bait box,allowing for a bigger tank.An easier way may be to put in a small secondary tank just forward of the current tank.
Sometimes I wish I had more fuel capacity,as the fuel dock at the marina gets crowded,and the wait can be long.I don't normally have any fuel shortage problems,but if I have to make15 to 20 mile runs one way to get to fish,I have to fuel up every day,which I'd prefer not to.

Maybe some of the resident experts on here can help tell us what would be involved in installing a secondary tank.Not sure what would be involved in switching valves or fill and vent lines.
