Re: Fuel Vent Problems
About relocating the vents. Don't quote me on this but I think there may be a rule against the vent being higher than the fill.
If the vent is above the fill then you can overfill your tank without warning until you get a gusher at the filler. Not saying it's a bad idea but I wonder if there is a reason why every boat I've seen has the vents lower than the filler. Steve P. P.S. Show of hands... does anyone mind if I post my 250 Sportsman project pics here?

Re: Fuel Vent Problems
Tally, just post them in the Off Topic section. Skools has been keeping us up to date on a 21 foot boat that isn't a V in that section, so I'm sure the others won't mind. Plus, a number of guys really like the 250's, so you'll have an interested audience.

I know you want to put all you can in, but I stopped toppin' mine off long ago...gas DOES expand when warmed and used to gush outta the vents, so I leave 'em down a bit now ;) ... ...and we'd love to see the 250...Off Topic or even set up a Gallery ;) ...
