that's were the fuel tank is on mine

Destroyer - thanks for this useful info. I believe ( not sure ) all V21's were constructed the same 93'-96' so this is why I figured helpful to have a specific V21 section. Is that void fully contained ( walled in ) or open to the hull, stringers, etc ?

Chart - in your post are you agreeing with Destroyers reference to a accessible storage void, or reporting your fuel tank is forward - and not in same place ? Just want to be clear. You also have a V21 model boat ? If yes I'll add your name above.

It's been a while since I looked at it. Truthfully I don't remember and the boat is buried under snow right now. I'll check after the melt-off, but if I recall correctly it's fully contained

#6 run a hose from the bottom of rod holders to bilge so foam won't get saturated with water

Great suggestion Redneck. I put rubber pipe caps from Home Despot (http://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-2-in-...-101/100372302) on the bottom of my rod holders and I use a turkey baster to empty them if they get full. Same idea as the hoses. The idea is to NEVER let your foam get wet. A liquid gallon of water weigh's 8.344 lbs, and I can attest to the fact that I filled (5) 55 gallon drums with water saturated foam when I redid my deck and foam. If even one quarter of that foam was pure water that means I was carrying around an extra 573.65 lb.s of dead weight. (And probably more than that) The performance increase was noticeable.

I put those same caps on my rod holders .....

I ran a hose from my rod holders using reelapeelin's method of rubber bearing buddy cap with hose clamps and thru hull fitting connected to old garden hose.

Right now seriously considering parting with my faithful 2004 Yamaha 150 carbed 2 stroke. She runs great but I've had her 10 years and would like to have a 4 stroke with 2x the fuel economy and range.
