Is everyone drilling holes in the “sidewall” of of the ski locker and corresponding hole through the floor I under the observers seat? It looks like it should be straight forward, but wanted to check with folks. Not sure if there any “don’t drill” areas around there. I’ll make sure to avoid the conduit and copper headed back to the engine. it looks like I’d be pretty safe drilling through the floor there as there is already a pretty large hole there for the intake vent. second, I’m thinking about putting a board up toward the back of the area behind the observers seat to mount the 4 reversible pumps. They are each 7-8 lbs and I’d prefer to put that weight up front for several reasons. Any big objections to that other than needing to buy and route additional fill/drain lines to the front of the boat? (I know I need to replace the vent hose). Also I would probably run the HDPE board to the floor so the fiberglass on the back side of the seat isn’t supporting 30Lbs+. Thanks!

I have a 2001 SSLXi and I have been wondering if anyone has moved the gas tank into the center ski locker. Weight distribution for slalom, barefooting, and anything other than wakesports seems like it would be better. Has anyone done this? Are there significant safety concerns? What do you all think about this?
