Miyot Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Which compartments are your fuel tanks in. Did you use the aft most compartment, just forward of the aft bulkhead. Or did you put a tank in the one just forward of the console. Wondering just where I should put mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Niemann Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is that an Evenrude Etec on her? If so, I would be interested in why you chose that engine. I am still debating which engine to get for my Marissa 'Salty'. That is assuming I ever finish her. dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Tinsley Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 The aft comparment is a insulated fish box, the compartment in front of it lies a 30 gal tank sitting on top of that is another tank nup into console, its a 175 Johnson I just had it, so thats why I used it, I will see if I can find pix of Tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared85 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Did you ever get this running right? With a 175 you should have been over 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Lancaster Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have to wonder why no intermediate bumpers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Tinsley Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 have not changed prop yet, really no need to she crusies very nice like it is, bumpers just liked the way it look without them, may add teak later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Lancaster Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If you dock or slip much, you'll miss the intermediates. Pack along plenty of poly bumpers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tengaugemag2204 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Rustyreel Your boat turned out looking great!! The black bottom paint looks good on there. Do you have any pictures of your console area? Running 50 that's awesome!!!! So far are you pleased with the performance of the boat? Handling and so on....
