Message: <blockquote data-quote="Earl D" data-source="post: 497878" data-attributes="member: 32781">Following the lead from a very informative series of videos on YouTube, I am converting my 12' V-hull into a bass boat.  The conversion will have a rear deck, cockpit just forward of the rear deck and then a forward deck.  With the modifications I am making, a fuel tank of any size will not fit behind the remaining what use to be the rear bench seat.  I have a nice, new, 6 gallon fuel tank.  The tank will comfortably fit just forward of the what use to be the forward bench seat.  The distance from the tank to the motor on the transom will be about 8'.I wouldn't think there would be any problem whatsoever with fuel traveling through a hose from the tank to the motor over that distance.  But, I, believe it or not, have been wrong before.  Is there any reason to not put the fuel tank that far away from the motor?Thanks for any comments.</blockquote>
