There was a boat sort of like that here in my area for awhile, gone now! I wanted it bad, hinted to the wife about it, but all she had to say was even if you got it fixed up we couldn't afford the engines or the gas for it, guess she was right, but I still insisted I could criuse a lot of miles with it on blocks here in the yard, she didn't buy the idea though!

Well the guy that is going to build my tank came by, and after taking some numbers down we came up with like 185gal. I think that is good for the twin 225 that i plan to power the boat with .I will post some pics when i get it

Hay there pablo1, hows the Itch from all that grinding ?? lol and hows the back ??? She looks good from here !!

I'm not the expert on gas , but just a quick figure , the 185 gal tank and the twin 225 [ which will be so so sweet ] i figured that is about 3 and a half hour running full out !! you should use a little over what 40 gals an hour !! 20 gals an hour for each motor !!
Ok was just wondering if you thought about that !! OK keep up the great work and keep them pics comming !! John
