Newbee with 1969 20' SF

[Caymanboy]

My apologies! But so happens I have a 69' and a 70', soooo, somewheres in there they moved it forward, I didn't do it, I have seen other 69's where it is pretty far aft, so far it's tough to get between seat and engine. I put the tank under the deck in my 70', slid it as far foward as I needed, between that and moving the batteries under the console took care of the weight issue, although, w/o raising the deck, put two (or one healthy person!) in the back and the water still comes in the holes, she does self bail at rest though.
