Hey sangster - mounted the fuel tank, installed my seat and changed the gears so far this weekend,hopefully tomorrow I'll have a chance to plumb it and clean it up and thats about it other than the splash guard.
I have update photos that I'll post sometime tomorrow.
here are a few photos of the fuel cell mounting brackets we made, fuel tank originally was wider than the back of the boat so we had to cut the bottom tank down and re-fab the mounting brackets
Original Bracket

And after

The tanks were still wider than the stringers so we had to kick the mounting bracket over to compensate.

I went with the doubles because of all the cruisen around we do - I'm sure I gave up a few mph - but atleast I wont have to stop for gas every 1/2 hour
off to plumb it -

OK got the fuel pump mounted to the fuel tank bracket had to space it out a little to miss the bracket leg
