Default Re: Replacing Gas Tank

Its the speed I am worried about! You know the guy with the outboard next to me always wants to race. I am also going with the NOS system that should fix him. I think I am going to go with the centering the tank theory. The weight would be like having one less big guy on board. I don't really notice much difference in ride or performance with one to three people on board. Well time will tell.
I wonder how many albies you can put in a Seacraft in one day?

Don't worry Jack, I won't tell that "guy" anything about your secret plans. He knows you can beat him in a race anyway. It's my boat that you have to worry about! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Albies? Did someone say albies? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

why not put in the same size tank that came out of it and only fill it half full when you want to race? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Mark,
Jack and the "other guy" (a.k.a. my father) are constantly ribbing each other over who has the fastest boat. It's all a moot point anyway because mine is faster. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Scott,

You should just rent yours to the highest bidder on race day [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

BTW: What if the "other guy" drains his half empty I know "smart arse" but I couldn't resist

Well, you may not own that boat forever and the next guy will probably want as much fuel as she can hold.

Scott - I know that your dad's boat and probably Mark's is faster than my Seafari; must be that damn fish box full of stripers that I always carry around!
