40 gal x 5 mpg is a pretty good range.....

I called "Inca", the company that made the one that FP has, they have a 45 that will fit and a 53, but they sell only to boat mfg's.



I might just hold off and get one made for it, but that will be mondo mula.

99% of my fishing can be done with a 20 tank of gas, with left over.
But I don't go all that far, I say a normal day would be like 40 to 50 miles.

I added the extra 25 gal tank for total of 65 for 2 reasons, 1 is that sometimes I like to go Cod fishing and thats like 20 to 30 miles out, and I want to make sure thats gas is the least of my worrys when I am out there.

2nd reason is that I have the under gunnel tanks for the other 40m gal, and when one tank goes down the boat will list one way or the other. So using the 25 gives me pleanty and is centered in the middle of the boat.

MJ,

You should plumb your saddle tanks so that you draw off of both of them @ the same time. That way your boat wont list.

Holy squid ink Batman!

I just looked at their website, if they ain't got what you need, you don't need it.

They have 10 times as much stuff as FP and they are only a few minutes away. I'd be happy to help you out, I can FEDEX or UPS from work. Let me know.

Franco,

MC still hasn't replied. I was reading their website and it says that they encourage you to come by and look for yourself.

Obviously I can't, but the next time you are going by there let me know, I'll give you my measurements and maybe you can check it out for me? ::)
