the Mckee

[spareparts]

bring it all up to date, I've got it ready for the season. Still have a few bugs, but it full speed ahead now. I took it out last December and didn't like the way it handled. I added a whale tail, transom wedges(compare a Mckee with a Whaler, the whaler has it built in), moved the battery and fuel tank under the helm seat, moved the hlem seat fwd a few more inches. It should ride a bunch betetr now. Before it hopped so bad, you couldn't keep a beer in the boat, it shook it up too much. So here's some pics.

Looks great Spare. I like the 18 gallon fuel tank install with the cover.

thats where the tank was on the first try, I raised the drivers seat up about 3" and moved the tank and the battery under the seat, now the area under the rear casting deck is storage for life jackets, fenders and lines. I also made the fwd seat removable so I could take it out when not needed.

Spare that looks great! What year model was that again? Love the original baby blue.

SWEET, Even better idea and better weight distributiuon. Mine has the two forward pedestal seats with a "bench" seat for the rear. I might try something similar under the bench seat.

the boat is a 79, that baby blue is durabak. If you want to put the tank under the seat, you have to make spacer blocks to raise it up

...unless you find a tank that will fit under the seat. How many gallons is that one? A low profile 12 gallon tank would be purrrrrfect.
