I am customizing a 20' aluminum boat hull from the frame up and want to make the weight distribution uniform in the boat. Will most likely go with an inboard with jet drive power plant.
It is impossible to locate a tank in the floor because of the many stringers.
I am toying with the idea of mounting long thin tanks on both sides connected by hoses to a small reservoir in the middle of the boat.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a boat builder that has side tanks and how they are installed/ formulated?
Do you think gas would flow enough from one side to the other on fill-up if I used 3" x 6" aluminum piping on the sides, with a small 3 gallon reservior in the middle?
Any ideas or suggestions, with possible pics, would be grreatly appreciated.
