[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 403451, member: 11893"] I really appreciate everyone's thoughts and ideas. It gives me more to think about and research. I just drew my boat in my CAD system in the current configuration and a couple of random center console configurations with and without moving the gas tank. I ran a VERY rough CG calculation for each configuration. It looks like moving the console 5 inches further forward and adding a 19 gallon fuel tank inside will move the CG forward almost 14". With the console in the same location but using the stock fuel tank the CG only moves forward 8-1/2". I don't know what all this means as far as planing time but I will do more research. Please keep all the ideas coming. Rob [/QUOTE]
