They make a valve that stops that. I added one in my v when I replaced all the lines.

About relocating the vents. Don't quote me on this but I think there may be a rule against the vent being higher than the fill.

If the vent is above the fill then you can overfill your tank without warning until you get a gusher at the filler.

Not saying it's a bad idea but I wonder if there is a reason why every boat I've seen has the vents lower than the filler.

Show of hands... does anyone mind if I post my 250 Sportsman project pics here?

Tally, just post them in the Off Topic section. Skools has been keeping us up to date on a 21 foot boat that isn't a V in that section, so I'm sure the others won't mind. Plus, a number of guys really like the 250's, so you'll have an interested audience.

But I did it 7 years ago and I am not changing it now!! ;)

I know you want to put all you can in, but I stopped toppin' mine off long ago...gas DOES expand when warmed and used to gush outta the vents, so I leave 'em down a bit now ;) ...


...and we'd love to see the 250...Off Topic or even set up a Gallery ;) ...
