[QUOTE="jtf, post: 448717, member: 22611"] Thanks for the suggestion, but that is the fuel (two 6 gallon tanks) and anchor locker entirely enclosed so can't see forward. Talked to Dawson, a sponsor here, FishOn Fabrication pays to ask an expert. He says the Weldbilt has limited aft under-deck space due to lateral rib stringers. As this will be a stow hatch for safety equipment and tackle, I'm going to the rear bench and put a hatch 1/2 way across. That will have room for 3 piece flyrod tubes, waders, first aid kit, tools, etc. The shop doing the jet setup said to keep the weight center-hull to prevent plowing, the boat should be tuned and back home on the river next week. Dawson knows his business, and if I can use a tape measure, will get a drop-in hatch return by mail and have my local shop weld it in place. Still need to figure how to pull the carpet loose, have the stripper and orbital sander once that is removed. [/QUOTE]
