Why such a big tank? Enough fuel for a round trip of fishing to Bimini without having to re-fuel at about $5 a gal.

I have been dreaming of doing that since I have been boating. Of course my trip would have to start with a long trailering trip.

I found a shop on line that can reproduce the decals for $99 - full set per motor. I'm sending him measurements of all the decals. Concern, I don't know the quality of their work...
Thanks,

macojoe,

I know, it's a $250 fill up, however I can always put $50 and fish all day like I've done many times. It's having the range available what's driving the change in the tank. It was etched, primed, painted and sealed in 2# foam and I hope it will last at least 12-15 years.
 
O I know why you did it, and I know you can just add what ever you want, I love the Idea just filling up one a month, But the sticker shock at first is mind blowing!
 
Builder, just a wild guess, but was it something like "Garzon Studios"? And I wish I could carry 98 gallons. Now there's an idea for a heck of a project...

I think you better start over and send that one to me!! ;)

Nice looking boat!! I wish I had the time and cash for a full over haul!!

I think the PVC is for running cables, wires, gas line, etc... Mine came stock with one on the right I which I would have added another to the left when it was apart.
 
Would this becauce it is a CC. I have a Cuddy 73. I would just reroute under the gunnel?
