I redid my ‘73 I/o much like you plains but with a single 300 etec —originally mine had twin 50gl tanks by opening it up under the console to the front box I was able to install a 100gl main tank and a 30gl “reserve “ plenty of fuel but up there you may not need that much for the type of fishing you do. You will love the full transom ! I made a anchor hatchin the bow as bending over and jamming anchor line just didn’t work for me . Hindsight and after fishing off Plum Isld on my brothers boat you might consider a Bow pulpit and anchor windlass god I know how manny times we pull and drop his anchor fishing the Merrimack river!
