84 23' Center console tank size

[Billpotter]

Understood-
On my current project (23 CC, twin suzuki DF115s on the transom- 850 lbs. approx.), I ended up splitting 120 gallons into a forward 50 in front of a console step in, and an aft 70 behind the console step in, behind which is a forward of transom storage area that's long enough to store long diving fins and gear. I also built a 15 ga. oval quick trip live well in the starboard stern because I like fresh fish. With the two tank set up, I can place the fuel where it is best for the circumstances; keeping it well forward when I want to.

Note that before taking the boat apart, I trial ran the boat for 6 hours in conditions up to washing machine 3-4' seas with the Suzuki F115s to verify my plans. The aft rushing fuel weight was obvious.

26 years ago, I set up a 3 tank (195 gallon total) 23 for a friend: it was very handy to be able to change the balance of the boat with different fuel placement for different circumstances.Just make sure you have a good idea as to how she'll sit and run with the different set up.

Keep in mind that as soon as the bow rises, no matter how many baffles there are in the tank, all the fuel goes to the rear of the tank.
