Watty, I noticed you are only running the RRP rear gas tank. What size is your motor and carbs, and how long does the tank last you?
Freestyle PowerFactor gas tank and battery setup?

Any new developments on this? I know thrust has a new tank, however with my setback motor I cannot fit a battery behind the mounts.
I have my jazz tank strapped down and to the front cover of my motor, but it shakes quite a bit as the motor is running. I am worried the tank will get a hole rubbed in it or rub the hull. Does anyone make a tray/mount for the 3 gallon jazz?

If anyone needs a custom aluminum tank or anything else, I can fab it for you and ship it. I own a fabrication shop in WI

This is what I came up with...
I wanted to mount the battery in the rear of my ski to open up my options for a gas tank. Purchased a riser from Blowsion which allows water flow under the battery tray (probably not needed but I didn't want to block the scupper). Because of the XFS-R tray I couldn't mount the battery upright so, I designed a battery tray which allowed the battery to be mounted on its side and had it CNC'd at a local shop. I ordered stainless steel inserts and RRP strap hooks from Thrust and had the inserts powder-coated to match the inside of my hull. I epoxied the inserts in place with black Plexus MA 320 (stuff is amazing). I didn't mount my tank straps to the flywheel cover like some suggest. I used 4 inserts to hold the gas tank, 2 to hold the power box and 2 to hold the chamber (I used a couple of stock mounting locations for the chamber.

I had this one built by a family friend, holds the battery and 5.1 gallons. I have about and inch clearance all the way around, so i can work on things easily! My brother Erok had one built very similar which was sold in his superfreak(picture already posted). I think its money well spent, and it works amazing.
