I promise I'll get the pics coming, but, cutting the floor out this Saturday! Praying for the Potter Putty gods to be kind to me! (Locked in on coosa for the deck and the transom.) After removing the fuel tank hatch, I was delighted to see the coffin has enough room for me to move the tank forward about 14". It is not original and has a 35 gallon capacity. After all the glass work is done, I'm going to reinstall the motor on a 3" manually adjustable jack plate then drop it in the water and move stuff around until I'm happy before fastening. As I mentioned previously, the console will be moved forward about 9". I was surprised that, after stripping everything off, the console only weighs about 35-40 pounds. Much more to come.
