I have a '94 Prostar 190. I took my seat and looked at the bottom of it and seat supports. There are two parts to the seat. The actually seat and a cushion thing the fits on/in the seat, which is the part you see an sit on. Under the cushion it is all foam. I was thinking I could cut that out and replace it with a tank that is about 15 by 50. I'm still trying to figure out how much it'd weigh. Working on my math skills!
yeah... i wanted to do the same thing with my nautique. I am going to mess around with it in the winter. Come up with ideas and try building some stuff. Ill let you know what i do, when i do it. B/c sacs are a pain in the ass _________________ GOT NAUTIQUE?

You need three dimensions to determine volume. If your 3rd dimension is 6 inches, so the tank is 15 in x 50 in x 6 in:
15 in x 50 in x 6 in = 4500 in^3
4500 in^3 x (1 gal/231 in^3) = 19.48 gal
19.48 gal x (8.34 lb/gal) = 160 lb (approx)
Hopefully it is bigger than 6 inches.
I've thought about replacing some of the foam in my Maristar with tank(s), but it is hard to get to (I have to take out part of the floor).
