My 83 was the same way with a 385lb 150 Johnson on the transom. We also had a 150qt cooler on the splashwell rim. Between those two heavy items we would constantly have a wet deck and coke bottles floating in the splashwell. I would mock the weight like said above and if it works move the fuel tank under the livewell hatch. Then you always glass foam in where the fuel tank was and have a fishbox. Are you cutting the floor or lifting the cap off?
