    Fuel tank OUT!

    Well big fuel tank is gone. And Iam going to put the livewell back in. Going to put a full pan in. So I think I've got it worked out, with the smaller tank. To have room for a power pole pump. With the three batteries.

    Yeah the tanks are too big in most these boats. I think mine is 28 or 30 gallons and I would be happy if it just held 10.

    How do you remove the deck? Does it just unscrew and come up in a piece or two?

    Had a 21 gal, and just couldn't see it taking up all the room. Six gal, will last me 2-3 trips. Drain and cleaned that big tank twice, and still got crap in the motor. So it gone, and excited about the possibility with all the room now.

    Just not sure if lam going back with carpet or a spray in liner.

    The bilge hatch is revived to the cross member that has the seat post well in it. That piece is bolted on each end. The hatch to the livewell is revived all around to the seat bulkhead, and that cross member. And the sides. That is all that in the middle.

    I tried but couldn't get this thing out, with out taking out the livewell. I was thinking of putting in a aluminum box in its place. For storage, but there are times I use the livewell. Mainly when croppie fishing.

    I'd coat the whole exposed bottom and sides of hull, and carpet the floor.. or could polish all that interior to a mirror shine.. like truck Budd Wheels

    This pic the cross member is already out. So that tank just takes up a ridiculous amount of room.

    Yes, I would fill it at end of season. When whiterizing, and usually took me until August to fill up from a 1/2 tank.
