that boat isnt a badazz offshore boat, if he was launching it off 6 footers all day that tank would be bouncing all over the place....

I like the chain saw in foam filled with gas.

As Ratman stated I can see room for mods on this installation if it were launching it off 6 footers all day maybe mount some shocks or springs on it "LOL". But it could be done without foam. I suppose the main thing if you do foam is have it water tight and put some corrosion type inhibitor on the tank.

If done properly it will work fine. The problem I always saw is that if you leave the ability for water to run out of the tank area then it can get in there all the time. So when the bilge starts to fill up then the water will go into the area were the tank is….
