[QUOTE="73GMC1500, post: 447234, member: 23269"] 1987 1648 monark jon boat. Bought with a 9.9 4 stroke Mercury. Great little motor but as I got more comfortable on the water I got the need for speed. I have 2 motors I will be playing with now, Yamaha 20 4 stroke and Mercury 25 2 stroke. The boat currently has a 3 gallon tank and lawn tractor sized battery in the back by the motor. There isn’t any extra room back there either. The 9.9 would run for days on the little tank. Now that I’m running bigger motors would like to go to a bigger tank (6 looks to be a common size) and larger marine battery. And probably put them in the front to help balance the weight out when I’m by myself. No idea how I want to do it. It has a factory casting deck of sorts up front. Probably have to cut that out and build a taller one to get a 6 gallon tank under it. Looking to bounce some ideas around this is my first go with modifying jon boats. Only pic I have right now, boat is outside covered up buried in the snow currently. https://www.flickr.com/gp/138149315@N02/4L0715 [/QUOTE]
