That’s a huge holding tank for your toilet!
Never carry excess chit if you want to go fast.

From the last step forward the sponsons are hollow and do not drain anywhere. There are several areas where if the boat was to fill up with water it would be able to go past the liner into these sponsons.. and then become trapped there. We did the math and should be well over 1200lbs lighter now. And over 100 gallons was forward of the helm so that should explain the significant loss of speed and lack of bow lift at speed.
