i have alot of room, boat appears to be comlete stock from factory, im going to add a 20 like u said, just need to figure out where. im also adding bigger freshwater, and septic tank. so weight needs to be shifted around. and in adding a heavy safe on the port side, yes a safe, like combination gun safe. 2x2 but they are heavy. i live in the chesapeake bay. no reason to get anywhere fast

Water weighs 8.3 lbs and gas about 5.5 to 6.5 a gallon

Jeff, those measurements work out to 10 cubic feet which equals 74.8 US gallons, so 75 it is.

Boats are not cheap . Heres was spent yesterday 8 am at prop shop to pick up my props $378. 8:50 am at fuel dock to fill up , I know I have plenty but the gauge says diffrent ( don't take chances ). $228.00 (60 gal ) 4pm $172.10 (45.3 gal ) .
778.10 plus food
. Now to be fair I did not pay for the first tank . A frend insisted on paying for that as I had help him fix his boat . And I did not pay for food . but you get the idea .
And I need to haul out to put the props on and paint. Peolple wonder why I don't drink , I can't afford too .
