[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 340831, member: 10154"] I am going to run a '96 Mercury 45 Jet which has a 60 powerhead on my 1652 mod v poling skiff that I am getting close to installing a fuel tank under the stern deck. What capacity fuel tank would you guys recommend? I will make a couple of 20-30 mile runs now and then but will generally run 10-20 miles on most trips. I dont want to have so much capacity that I get bow heavy when I fill up but want enough to get me around with no problems (running low on fuel)... I am looking at 18-25 gallon Moeller Marine tanks right now. Here is my tank floor that can hold a tank up to 26"x23"x12" which is about a 28 gallon tank. I can move the angle out to about 27" max width. The panel in front will be easily removed to access the tank and I am aware I will need one with an offset sending unit and fill tube to clear the center brace.
