[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 259125, member: 6937"] I went ahead and moved that portable tank to the stern, on the port side. That seemed to level the boat up a little bit, and now it's not listing to the starboard like it was before. With the gas tank moved out from under the platform, it gives me a good spot to put the container with the anchor, and maybe a few other things, like hip waders. I'll have to do another test run and see how it runs with the weight moved around. Yeah, as far as turning the locker into a locker and a cooler, that worked out good. I love when I can re-use stuff and save time and money in the process. It just sucks I couldn't do that with the factory platform....but the factory platform would have been about 3 inches too short, because of that sloped plate between the 2 deck levels. As for what's next.....how about a small, aluminum hull jetboat with a supercharged engine? :wink: That project is still a little way off, like this coming winter. But it will be a fast little boat, with a rock proof hull....and, it will definitely be another season of "American Jetboat", complete with the humor and dysfunction as usual! :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
