I have a 6 gallon outboard tank bungee corded to the floor under the center seat. I discovered that if you don’t tie it down, a heavy rainstorm can fill the dinghy to the point the tank floats and gets capsized by the hose pulling on it. Makes a big mess when water gets in the vent and gas comes out ☹ I also have two of these tanks. Bad point is it is metal and good point is it is totally weather proof, water proof, does not leak, and does not get fumes in your car. http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-FS-Galvanized-Gasoline-Capacity/dp/B00GVJAXZQ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1451509779&sr=8-10&keywords=metal+fuel+tank I bought a 5 gallon after finding a brand new never had fuel in it 2.5 gallon version sitting by the dumpster and loving it.

It is not ideal for davits, I just tow my dinghy. My dinghy has a 6 gallon tank and sometimes I have a 5 gallon jug in there too. That is plenty of dinghy gas without carrying more jugs on deck. I would not try and make an inboard diesel dinghy, but YMMV.

I really don't want gasoline on the boat. I thought about just having row and sail power for my dinghy, but the are times and places that having a motor would be desirable. There are some small diesel motors on ebay, for less than a few hundred dollars and I enjoy construction projects. So, I thought about making either a diesel outdoors out of on, or building a dinghy and making it have an inboard diesel motor. I've downloaded some plans for a small water taxi type boat with an inboard gasoline engine of about 3hp. I am looking at how to adapt the design to a stitch and glue build. I'm sure that I'll need to install davits to carry it as there really isn't open deck space on the 39 to carry it forward. Any one have experience in adding davits to the 39? _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com [https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/logo-avast-v1.png]<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com> To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
