    1967 sportsman 120?

    Looking at a boat in a guys yard that's been sitting for like 20 years.

    3.7 mercruiser shift linkage.

    Stupid question of the day. 1 12 gallon or 2 6 gallons?

    So I've been having issues running out of gas. I bought a bundle of fuel tanks. One is a 12 gallon tank the other is a small 6 gallon. I already have a 6 gallon. So my question is would it be better to run the big 12 gallon or 2 6 gallons. Space is limited and I'm somewhat worried about too much...
