I have been going back and forth on the thought of removing my 5 gal water heater on my 252 Sailfish and replacing the weight with PVC pipes fillled with lead bird shot (5 gallons of water is roughly 42 pounds). Over the 3 years of owning the boat I’ve never had the need to use it, and it is starting to rust out anyways. I figured if I take it out, connect the water lines back together, and replace the weight I would be able to have a nice storage compartment where it used to be. Has anyone done this or have any other inputs?
