Hi All,<br /> I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about modifying my boat to either power trim or using smart tabs or the like? Its a 70 lonestar aluminum, hull id# is 58410075.(was told it was a 1970 20ft. but title says 1960 19ft) It was a pain in the *** adjusting the Johnson 70hp on the water. motor is a 84 or 88, cant believe I forgot. Also in front of the transom there is a space currently used for battery storage and a livewell. Gas cans, dual OMC 6 gal tanks sit on this enclosed storage area. I would like to put seating there (on the lid of enclosed area) instead and relocate the fuel cans. Any ideas. Bow type is enclosed but you can slide the middle window pain and this cover down and forward and walk in 18in or so. It would be nice to open it up and put seating there over the brace but could put fuel cans there instead, but then can I run fuel lines that long? If so how could I do it safely? Safety is my #1 concern first and foremost! Thats another reason why I dont like fuel cans by all the electrical. Thanks for any and all help, Glen p.s. I LOVE THIS BOAT!!!!!!!
