Stainless Marine 30". Moved fuel tank and console forward a tad and installed a 13gallon fresh water tank in the dead space under the floor in front of the fuel tank bulkhead, moved the batteries under the console. The modified console is a heavy SOB, despite the fact that I cut off the bench seat/storage off the front and use a 94 QT Igloo in front of the console as a seat. IN other words I tried to adjust the balance of the boat to compensate for the 30" setback. It works best with the 400 lb motor it was intended for, not ideal with the big motor.. 24" to 26" would probably be better.
