Ya... I like that... sounds like it could work. You know, I've got two 18 gal side Alum tanks that are pulls from another boat. I may have to start playing around with this in the garage over the winter. That extra 36 gals would be a hell of a range extension. The rod holders in the sides of my boat broke into tiny pieces long ago, so putting the tanks there would not be a problem.. Hmmmm....this is getting interesting.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
