Why does this boat have such a small fuel tank?55 or 75 not sure yet but seems small to run a318 all day if off shore

Was not built to run far off shore , but 75 gal should give a fair range .

We are adding another 55. I have lots of space. Will run cross over tube like a harpy to keep tanks flowing at an even rate. Should work fine I think

harpy? What's a harpy? LOL I ment a Harley. Getting terrible error codes tonight every time I try to move out or into a different forum or post anything all day....

I'm getting the error codes too Jeff.

By the way, the extra full tank of fuel will change the dynamics of how the vessel runs on water. 55 gallons, what's that; 550 pounds on top of everything else that will be on board. Something to consider.

Uhg ur right, see this is why I paid the 15$

Not sure if gasoline is like water. But water is 6lbs a gallon that's 330 lbs, reguarless ur still right.

Hey Jeff,
Looking at your boat in your avator picture. It doesn't look like you have the keel supported. I was always told that the keel is the where all the weight goes and the outer supports are there to stablize the boat, especially for long term storage. I know all the marinas around here block the keel at the front and back part of the keel.

Here's a picture of mine at Cutty Sark Marina.

+1. Need to support the keel properly.

You're closer than I am Jeff, gasoline is 6.3 pounds per gallon. Water is 8.34 pounds.

so we were both wrong LOL still alot of weight like you said. ok guys thanks, i just called the boat moving company to come and readjust my keel. thank you. they have to come anyway considering i have there hauling truck here at the house putting a door on it LOL
