I put my 12 gallon gas tank on the floor all the way up front in my 15' Alumaweld, then built a simple 3/8 inch plywood box to fit over it to keep the sun from deteriorating the plastic.There's a 3" lip around the top to serve as a tray. This turns into a place to put my tackle box, lures I'm using that day, sunscreen, pliers, etc. within easy reach.
My Igloo is right across from the tank, so between them both, I never have to worry about all the weight at the back when I fish alone and never have porpoising problems. Battery is still behind the rear seat.
