Fuel tank placement with bracket

[captmattson]

I'm currently laying out my '69 20 sf. It was nearing gutted when I received the boat. I have a bracket on the way from hermco. I'm planning on a 200 etech or the new lighter 4 cylinder 200 Yamaha. I'm building the boat with the live well under a leaning post and battery in the console. What would be a recommended distance from the transom or placement of a 75 gallon fuel tank? I'm thinking centered or a foot forward of center. ?? The hull didn't have a floor or fuel tank on board when I purchased it. I'm also raising the floor 2". The shearline has been cut down 2.5" toward the stern and the new transom will be enclosed. The boat will be laid out in a hybrid bay boat design.

Ill be starting a photo journal on the site this week. Thanks for all the help.
