fuel tanks

Thoughts on fuel tanks for the GA design? Built in, or welded aluminum. Assuming gas outboards. Thinking about 28-29 feet.

You can get the most gas capacity if you go with custom-built welded aluminum tanks (say 'yes' on baffles).  Especially if you have a raised cockpit sole.  In your 28-29 ft GA, to counter the extra weight f'w'd on typical GAs in this length range, you want weight behind the pilot house anyway ...
