No it's 2 24"x24" dry boxes. 18 gallon custom fuel tank. Pick my tiller handle strait up and it's wide open. I couldn't pass it up. It's all 1/8" I guess that's why it runs good with 50 it's not so heavy.

You guys think I'll lose any top end dropping 1 pitch. It's turning 5300 with full load. That'll put me at 5700 unloaded and 5500 loaded. I like the performance of stelleto that I have now so I'm gonna get same prop just new pitch and keep other for spare. I'm thinking I'll get better top end from all post in forums I've read people have actually gotten better top end when turning true max rpm. Motor is set perfect. Just like to hear an opinion.

I had a 16ft G3 hull and the same 50hp Yamaha. I used a 13p prop. With just me my rpms were 5600-5700. But it never ran it that high. That way with a load it was perfect. Hole shot was quicker when I dropped 1 pitch also. But this was a bass boat and it had full decks and console and it ran 35mph. Your hull should fly if you turn a little more rpm. But I'm no expert by any means! LOL
