'67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

[Berdink]

Yeah, we go to a place in Astoria called Buoy 10. It's a blast of a fishing opportunity, but need at least 12 gallons a day if we want to always be where the fish are at any given time of the tide cycle. I want around a 20 gallon.

We did our honeymoon in astoria. Stayed at the best western, before it fell in the river.

Unless you are in NY, not OR

Found me a tank for the belly.

 

[Berdink]

I drew a poly line in ACad to get the area per inch.
Check my math, please.

Safe bet, but you will know for sure when you fill up the first time

Yeah, I suppose it really doesn't matter. I was more just curious.

 

[redneck joe]

it will never be perfectly flat to fill up to the top of the cap so reduce by 1-2 gallons and call it a 25.

Yeah, I was thinking that because the boat always sits a little lower in the rear.

 

[Berdink]

I plan on installing this mid-section and filling it from the front. The fuel line is at the front of the tank. Would there be anything wrong with extending the line in the tank to the back so it'll be in the deep portion of the tank?

 

[redneck joe]

is it baffled at all?

 

[Berdink]

No baffles

 

[redneck joe]

in my very non expert opinion, the juice aint worth the squeeze. If you are that low on fuel you got bigger things to worry about.
