Fischer53 - The console is like the one on the 170 Cools so its probably not as wide. Since the console hasn't been installed I can check the clearance and arrangement. What got me thinking is that I noticed a Sportsman photo in a Boat Trader ad (appears to have come from a brochure) where an external gas tank is placed opposite from the driver who is at a starboard console. Since the boat has an internal gas tank it made me wonder if the external tank was being used to balance the boat.
Your comment on prop torque is interesting as well. Trim tabs could solve any balance problem at speed, and might be required with a heavy 75hp anyway, but that is an expense I would like to avoid.
I imagine a 17 Cool with a driver at the helm and no other passengers would behave about like the Sportsman. Maybe I will get a response from a Cool owner.
Thanks
