The original tank was 70 gals and it looked like in the pics that the tank well ended about 12-15" from the transom. Did you get measurements of where the tank well sat in the boat? Do you still have the old tank, maybe that would help figure it out. I would think moving it forward about a foot would balance out the lever effect of the bracketed motor. Mshuggs did the same thing on his CCP, so he probably has the math figured out.
mshugg, I think thats what I'm going to go with somewhere between 50-60 gals. Do you have the measurements of the distance from transom to the tank coffin bulkheads? Also im trying to determine the console placement distances, it's harder with a single level deck ( cant use the casting deck as a reference)

Maybe someone with a 222 can give you the console location. Placing the forward bulkhead for the tank at the front of the console is probably a good estimate.
Ulysses thank you for those numbers! The console numbers would definitely help, i'm in the dark on those numbers. As for my tank, I have the coffin box approx. 62" leaving an inch on each side of the bulkhead. As of now, I have my aft tank coffin bulkhead about 100" from the transom. I am concerned that is not enough and will leave way too much weight forward, maybe i'm wrong on that one?
