I would like to mount a shelf, to accommodate a 6gal. gas tank and battery/batteries from the stern, port to starboard sides. Does anybody out there have an opinion as to wether mounting the shelf to the hull is a good idea. I’m looking for the most efficient way to stabilize and level gas tank and battery/ies without effecting boat design.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">John</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
