Here is the boat. She is very clean, solid and the motor is in great condition. It has two live wells. My concern was having the fuel supply in the same compartment with the batteries. I looking for my first bass boat, and was not sure if this was the norm. I was concern that the batteries could spark a fire being that close to the fuel cans. https://fortmyers.craigslist.org/chl/boa/6225383617.html

Today I went and looked at a 1985 Glasstream Bass boat with an 85 hp Evinrude. I had a concern. Just forward of the transom was a long compartment with a closed lid the width of the boat. Inside this compartment were two 5 gallon gas cans where one of the cans was hooked to the motor, but next to these gas cans were two batteries, one for the starter and one for the trolling motor. Should your fuel source and batteries be in the exact same compartment? And how long only 10 gallons of fuel last you with an 85 hp motor?
