Default RE: Aquacraft Airboat likes to topple over

I cut 2 pieces of 1/4" square stock and made 2 rails going from the front hole to the back hole for the mounting screws of the fuel tank stand, one for each side. I then cut grooves on the bottom of the rails to slide plastic tie wraps through. I put double sided tape on the bottom of the tank to hold it on the deck and used the tie wraps to hold the tank down to the tape. It has worked for me and the engine has not seemed to have been affected. It lowered the c.g. but the boat still flipped all the time hence the modified hull. Dennis
