[QUOTE="brewfish, post: 77062, member: 550"] I plan on moving the battery to the front but I just don't see how I could move the gas tank to the front. I am greedy with my open cockpit space and don't want to clutter it up with a gas tank and hose. I have it under the back deck currently. I would move it to under the front deck but of course the fuel line is just a little bit too short. I don't know if they sell longer hoses or if that extending the length would cause a problem with the motor being able to draw gas from such a distance. A friend of mine suggested that I could just add some sort of ballast to the bow. I guess I could do something like that but just don't like the idea of adding dead weight. [/QUOTE]
