"If you happen to hear of how/where the gas fill was moved I'd be interested in learning how it was done."
If you go back and do a search for a post from btfish on 6/14/14 he posted a picture of his new 1760 where he said they moved the gas fill. The picture is from the front angle so hard to tell how much it was moved, but it was so he could lay longer rods on the port side.
I saw that, but if you read Steve's response below, that approach goes against USCG requirements, and there's no way in he!! I'd make that same modification. Steve has also suggested that a gas fill relocation strategy may have been worked out at the factory. I'm staying tuned to see how this was achieved.

BY USCG requirements, any overflow from the gas fill MUST end up outside the boat. if it doesn't, your boat is not legal, and if an insurance claim happens or someone is injured, you will be liable.
I think the factory has figured out a way to get the fill moved...if I remember correctly one was built last year. Not sure what they did. |
