[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 477368, member: 15465"] I don't think the sloshing will cause you any handling problems. When full it won't slosh much. When near empty it may slosh but there is not much weight going back & forth. How will you fill it? Per USCG, you can't just have a filler neck in the middle of the boat. There are requirements for fuel runoff if overfilled. This is an important thing, people have blown up when they ignored this aspect. If the moeller tank has a neck that you can hose clamp to, you can get 2+ inch hose on internet for small money. Good luck PS - homemade tanks aren't legal under any circumstances, so good you let that idea go. PS2 - I used a PWC tank in my boat. 12 gallons, has mounting tabs, fully legal. [/QUOTE]
