Post: # 8263Post YDOC462 »

gotcha! :up: the smaller tank will allow me more adjustment room on balancing weight too.

I agree with the 17 gal. tank. 27 gallons would be way too heavy. Good luck! I was out today down here in Savannah. Mid seventies, sunny, and beautiful.

Yeah going w the 19 gal. Ordered it today. Just trying to get all I need to rig the boat so I can't cut my holes I need before paint.

Yeah the weather has been bad @$$. Wish she was water ready. Going to the lake tomorrow to catch some white perch.

I tell ya, you southerners have it rough. I was out on the lake for a bit today and had to drill through 20" of ice to get to water. At least it will be above freezing all next week.
