Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The cap has nothing to do with the floor space, so the GT or GC configuration wouldn't help you much. if you were to take an inch off the side tank, you gain an inch of floor space, and vice-versa. The tanks are the same size in the old design as the Esox Magnum. There are quite a few of these rigs out there, and most who own them really like the boat design, it just went out of favor in general.
If Tuffy left the front deck as is and added side tanks, the cockpit would be tiny, so that's out too. Much of the side tank area in the new models are foamed, according to the folks at the factory, so adding a few inches on the side won't get you side tank storage. However, you CAN add the rear deck module (pictured) or a rear storage locker (pictured) in the new models.
The rear deck module doubles as storage, and opens to either side-- gull wing style lids. it bolts in and out in a couple minutes, and looks like it is part of the boat when installed.
Doubles the back deck space, too.
