hard tank in 93 sport

[GZA]

Ok just wondering about a lil project and want to know if anybody else has looked into it. We have a '93 sport which we use soley for wakeboarding. We are trying to get as much weight into it as we can but don't want to loose all our space(direct drive). Our (open) bow has a gap underneath it of approx 20cm. Does anybody know if we would loose to much rigidity in the hull by cutting out the floor so as to fit a hard tank in there? If we do this and make it so the floor bolts back into the hull would this add the strength back into it? Or any other ways that people have added the weight to the front of their boat?
Cheers
Rob

i have a 97 sport. we removed the back seat and built a sun pad to go in its place and i have a 485 pound hard tank underneath it, 600 pound sack in front of it and (2) 350 side sacs on the the sides of the engine. you really dont need much weight up front besides body weight. my wake is tall and rampy i rides great.
