a normal container & tank lashed on the aft cabin top with a vinyl cover to keep UV from degrading the plastic..
Extended and remote? or just along the ICW???

I normally have 5 gal in the outboard tank and another 2 or so for misc, small genset...etc... I wouldn't carry more than I can burn in a month or so as long as I can get to some place with fuel...on the ICW I gould get by with about 1/2 of what I just said.

The size and use of the dingy would be a determining factor also...a 25hp outboard compared to a 3hp is a big difference..manly in terms of distances traveled with the dingy as much as just burn rate...with a big dingy and 25...you may run 20 miles a day sightseeing.
