Gas Tank Location
 

OK, on the new boat (18' Steiger Craft) it has a solid hull and the gas tank are external. Now instead of locating it (I have a 30gallon ext Tank) in the back of the boat as normal, I want to lcate it in front of the console were the cooler seat is. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...006/boat-3.jpg
I do allot of fishing anchored up, and from the back ofthe boat so I want as lilte clutter as posible. Do you see any issues I may be getting myself into by this?
As always, Thanks for your help/guidence!!!!!

Congrats on the new boat!! I saw that you sold the V on ebay congrats on that also!!

I see no problems with putting the tank up front, most tanks are right under the console any way.

If it was me, I would look into in the console tanks this way its out of the way. But it doesn't look like your console it all that big?? Maybe replace the console with a bigger one with a seat on the front for seating with the tank inside??

At the very least I would put a tank in front of the console and build a dog house around it so it can be used for seating and protect the tank!

Good Luck!

Thanks MJ!
I was going to try and put it under the console, but with all the wiring/fuse box under there I was weary of a fire hazard?? I also already have a 30 gallon tank I might as well use. I am planning on replacing the console next year, so I will do it then.
Thanks Again!!!!!!!
