[QUOTE="FilthyPlumber, post: 446714, member: 21044"] I have a 3 gal tank so id keep that the same. Not much difference if it's even noticeable when the tanks empty vs full. I keep a battery on board for my trolling motor so I don't have to row as far if my motor starts having issues so I'd just use that for the electric start since it's already there. I was thinking about putting a small piece of plywood in the bow to make a level service to mount the gas tank and battery on when I'm by myself to keep it down a little more. Any reasons not to do so? Would the longer fuel line and battery cables be an issue? Now that I think about it, the only thing the extra weight would change is how much weight of gear and passengers I can bring in board. [/QUOTE]
