[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 489048, member: 17989"] Almost warm enough to get boats wet. I have been working on my 12' Duraboat and adding a 6 gal tank in the nose to add some weight up front and extra fuel. I'm on the verge of adding a mount up front to set up a bow electric motor which always works better than one on the transom...at least in the wind. I have the tank mounted with just the fill spout above the front deck and mounted under with two steel straps. Might use some spray foam between tank and the sides of the boat to add some buoyance and maybe reduce some sound too. I guess the battery should be under the front seat with a mount and "hatch" in the seat for access the battery and connect the charger. I believe some 0.100 alum plate should be strong enough to support the front mounted electric motor. That's the plan and we'll see how it works. [/QUOTE]
