Beachrider99, what Smokeonthewater just suggested is the proper way to go. Side tanks were discontinued for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to the fact that as you draw down one tank, the weight of the other full tank puts a list onto your boat on that side. It's simply easier to maintain a level boat with one center under deck tank. There are many posts on this site from people that have either converted to a center tank or have replaced one. Just do a search.

Congratulations on your purchase of a fine boat. Stay around this site to get a ton of helpful information, encouragement and advice, as well as just plain friendly folks that love their boats. Welcome aboard.

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.
