I would go with the largest tank you can reasonably fit in there. Good luck.
What he said. We cruise the Bahamas in the winter. I wish I could add to my 550 gallon tankage to increase my 900 mile range. I wouldn’t have to buy expensive Bahamas fuel.

Even going down the Atlantic ICW one see great differences in fuel prices. I make sure I don’t have to stop at expensive fuel docks. Extended range will help with that.
