Kamikaze

We did some weight distribution/displacement calculations (I will look for them and post later date) but basically the gas tank was moved forward up to the first floor (perpendicular bracing to runners) and second floor removed. Water tank, 13 gal. followed by two empty compartments, one storage, and the other bilge. The console is being moved forward, a new hardtop and the two batteries are moving from bilge to under console. Although the weigh (250 #) of the full removable bait well and the additional (249 #) of fuel when full concerns me, I believe that the Bennett M-120 Trim Tabs are going correct for listing and uneven weight distribution. Why such a big tank? Enough fuel for a round trip of fishing to Bimini without having to re-fuel at about $5 a gal.
