Default fuel pick up position

I had been helping a friend trying to get his old (original) fuel tank out of his 84 Mako. He was finally able to get it out with the use of a forklift. He said the boat lifted a couple of inches off the trailer before the tank popped out.
He stopped by today with his new tank and I noticed that the pick ups (2) were where the originals were located, near the front. When I had my tank made, many years ago, I had the pick ups located near the stern. I really don't remember where they were on the old tank, but it seems to me that it would make sense to put them further back. Thoughts?
