some great ideas there

Who said the tanks will be filled smart guy ?
Also weight shifted lower center of gravity and mid ship much better for stability than near the stern.

My question was in hypothetical form
thinking with full tanks ....
and the weight reduced structurally
you still weighed the same
or less than before was all...

which is a good thing...

especially if you had a very Large Tuna
on deck

Sorry if I came across the wrong way.
As Downeast boats go BHM are know for carrying weight more than others.
Wide beam that is carried to the stern.
Downside of its ability to carry more weight that others is its no speed demon.
Enlarging the tanks (by 1/3) was a no brainier since I raised the deck 4-5 inches. Doesn't mean I plan to fill all the time. But say I want to run to Chatham or North to Jefferies I would much rather out the additional fuel in the tanks rather than jugs or barrels on the deck which are an accident just waiting to happen.
