There IS alot of wasted space up there. I squeezed in a longer tank for an extra 20 or so gallons. I've thought about cutting the areas out between the casting platform and gunnel; Like the 20. Might be a structural issue though.

The guy before me did the same thing with the tank, only he let the tank rest directly on the hull! It had actually worn into the glass quite a bit. I can't believe the things people do. Anyway, I managed to stuff a 54 gallon tank in the original size compartment which is enough for me.

I could see that happening with a flat bottom on the tank. The front 2 feet or so on my tank goes from 8" deep to 6".
