The vent towards the stern creates a lot of gushing at fill up and makes it nearly impossible to fill up completely, plus when planing off would probably spew fuel out the vent with all the fuel tilting back towards the stern.

Try it out and see. Figured I'd mention it before you had her all buttoned up and had to re do it.

agree...but fuel pickup forward could cause big problem when you are low on fuel...
Don't like that tank at all...

This is what I was kinda thinking. Kinda damned if you do damned if you don't. Starting to think I might see how the green boat tank would fit.
