i hope it will fill with the tank turned around that may cause a filling issue. unless you have the transom higher than the bow so the tank can vent or the vent must be at the front of the boat on the tank. i've tried that in another and it didn't work.

My gas station is on a slight hill and I have the exact problem when I am parked down hill. All he needs to do is find a pump on a little slope and he won't have any problems.

Tank
Guys,
My trailer is pretty high and sits level with my truck, I am not too worried about the fueling issue, what I am worried about is when I and on the lake bow up half way on plane! I have given this great deal of thought since I was “changing something” from OEM, I always have doubts, this setup will hopefully work, my concerns are when I am force to drive half up on plane what to expect in regards to not having the vent “clear” since it’s at the back of the boat, Will this create fuel starvation issue? Testing will tell, I will fill her up and test on the lake, Stay tune, I have Buddy who tells me he can insert a fuel vent any where with a six pack and some JB Weld :) Today I finish all the electrical and rewire everything from dual batteries shut off switch, re-located the batteries and open a new hatch door directly in front the cuddy (wasted space now in use) I fired her up testing everything light, charging, fuel sender etc, looks like my fuel check valve is not kosher I will replace it, This was base on the testing with 10 gallons of fuel in the tank it took forever to prime the bulb, then with the engine in the driveway on the hose it goes soft ? I now have to finish the Radio, AMP and speakers. I was planning for a splash down today with it did not happen, Hopefully this weekend.

Update
Well I finally launched the V this weekend, happy to report everything went without a hitch.
One minor issue with the reverse shifting seems to be extremely hard; I will re-visit it this weekend. I clock exactly 40 MPH using my GPS, I tested the transom in every which way I could no flexing or issues to report. No leaks, my critique friends kept telling me to expect leaks! I am still in the process of applying some OEM decals etc I will post the final pictures once completed. I am relived needless to say the lease to feel and see the final fruit of my labor at its best. An old timer I met down at the ramp told me “One of the best looking V's I have ever seen” brought very big smile to my face for sure. Once again guys thanks for all your help and advice.
