Gas Tank And Trim Tab Questions

[whadashock]

I Have A 22 Ft Larsen With A 50 Gallon Tank, 50 Gallons Limit Me To The Distance I Want To Travel. Does Anyone Know How Many Gallons I Could Add. I Found A 95 Gallon Tank But Im Unsure How Much Weight I Could Add. Im Also Looking To Add Trim Tabs. Electric Ones Seems To Be An Easier Way To Go And Also Cheaper Im Told. Are These Up Grades Worth It?

You can put in any size tank that fits, if its too big you just don't fill it up completely.

The problem is you don't normally have enough room for one huge tank, so just add another smaller one if there's a place to put it.

Im Worried About The Weight Of An Extra 45 Gallons. There Is A Built In Cooler Right Behind The Existing Tank. I Dont Want To Look To Much Further Into Replacing It If It Will Be To Much Weight.

Just put some weight (a friend or two) in the boat where the tank is a try it. Then you'll know exactly how much weight you can add to that location and still have it perform OK.

I agree with ondarvr, just add ballast of some sort, preferably a couple of buddies an that will tell you approx. how the boat will handle with the extra weight of the tank and gas. good luck. tink
