The distribution of the weight would be my main concern.
If that is no real problem, you don't have to fill up the additional tank, just put in it what you feel you may need to be safe.

Thanks Tsubaki. I just checked the height and it wont fit in the floor space. Its about an inch too tall not counting the filler.

Is it going to look too odd redoing the entire thing by replacing the 60 with the 80?
Or is that just too much aggravation? I'm always worried about only having a 40gal capability but too sorry to do anything about it.

I am in the middle of trying to figure the same thing out. I think I am going to lean towards putting a 25-30 Gal plastic tank in the rear compartment in the cuddy. there is a place in the city that makes custom fuel tanks (sizes) I will get the right fit in the cuddy to reduce movement and they are foam filled. I will then run a sepreat hose into the filter housing and all should be good for the LONG run to the Holy grail of fishing grounds. It will help me keep the nose down a bit with out the use of the trim tabs on the way out ( I plan on using that tank first) then there should be no weigh issues in the wrong spot. Running out tihs year 10 Miles from shore and floating to up to Alaska was NOT fun
 and the fuel issue is now #1 on the to do list.

when i had my v it had two saddle bag tanks, 20 gal each. but was a pain when one side was empty, then it would lean one way till i used some out of the other side.
when i converted from i/o to out board i added a 25 gal plastic tank were the i/o was, now i would just run from that tank and just fill the other ones if needed, it worked out great.
