We have started work on the 23! Fuel tank first then on to rewiring and electronics....

I am doing a 166 gallon fuel tank with a 22 gallon water tank that will sit behind it.

TMala, thanks! Ya that fuel tank might be overkill. It was actually for a 30 Scarab project that I am selling in lieu of the Sea Craft. I modified it some, I just hope it will fit under the floor!

80 - 100 gallons is all you need in the 23 for 250+ mile range. I feel like the 135 gallon tracker tanks were so big and pushed so far forward . . . it made for a wet ride when they were full (and wet feet too).

Thanks for the insight! I know you have a lot of experience with these hulls. I am planning a bracket with twins this winter (I was also planning to have the tank done beginning of spring...

) so hopefully that will balance out the center of gravity?
