My boat is plumbed to have dual tanks under the seats in the cabin like you say, but also has the compartment in the floor. So I have been wondering what the best place for the gas tank would be also. I have heard some people say that seahawks were greate boats but they need more bow lift. Putting the tank in the cockpit could correct this, or could backfire and leave the boat dragging its a$$ leaving the motors setting too low and also risking the possibility of water rushing over the rearend. I dont know. I guess you cant go wrong with the dual tanks in the cabin. Since I am going to fabricate my own windshield out of fiberglass, I am going to redo my helm as well. I am going to slope the face for the gauges down from just under the top of the windshield and build an armrest type thing to hold my throttle controls. Almost all the info I have came from this forum. I havent found much of any other info on Seahawks besides what I posted earlier.

It looks great. I am jelous. How does is run with the 225's? What pitch are your props? Mine is a slow go. I have done some trailer repair and added brakes. I am now fixing to start on some fiberglass repair to a small damaged area on the bottom of the hull.

There is a guy that is wanting to buy my seahawk (pics on earlier posting) for $5000. Given its history, and its condition of course, do any of you guys think this is a good deal? I paid $1000 for it but me nor the guy I bought it from knew anything about its history. What do you guys think?

Sell it, take the money and run. There is very little historical significants with this boat.
I owned the original 1969 World Champion "Maltese Magnum" Race boat and had trouble selling that hull. There are very few people who would give you $5,000 for the Seahawk hull. Besides the raceboat, I just sold a 27 Magnum hull, and had trouble getting $3,000 for it. I had it listed for two years.
Just my opinion.
