Hi - I was curious where the 17 gallon fuel tank is located? Mine only holds
7 gallons. Sounds like a nice upgrade. Good luck with the sale.

Not surprising - and something of a trend among owners here. There is something about these boats makes them hard to let go of, and once you do, then come the "I wish I hadn't" thoughts! Now with spring just around the corner, with the boat in the water and underway you'll be glad you kept her : )

Have fun sailing!

Cheers,

Dave
