Guys, thanks for the responses.
DonV - I agree that a larger tank would be better. I was actually surprised first time I put eyes on the tank. Will probably bump it up to 85-100 gallons like you suggest. I like twins for the redundancy should something go wrong. And for ability to spin boat on axis. Thanks for the link, I will be sure to check it out.
Wattaway2 - Great point regarding pulling the anchor. That's what kids are for!... BTW... glad to see you're in a warmer climate now... : )
Old'sCool - I'll be sure to keep batteries as far forward as possible too. I think with a floatation bracket I should be pretty good with retaining a good center of balance. Old engine, outdrive and battery were about 1,000 lbs. and removing wet wood in transom and engine beds will lighten rear of boat as well.
