These are good ideas - keep them coming! My latest thought is to replace the under-seat plastic locker with a low profile and long custom tank. The configuration would allow access and filling of the tank by lifting the helm seat. I like the idea of using plastic furniture feet to mount it to the deck - this would allow any water to flow and without any messy fiberglass work.

Question: To mount something to the deck - like a fuel tank, would you use stainless wood screws and bedding compound to seal - is there adequate backing material to have secure holding? Wondering what size/length screws?

Thanks again to "Key Rat". "Tom": I will take some pictures and post. Thanks!
