Does this thing have 4 gas tanks? Any idea what the boat was originally setup for?

This is the bottom used for this Marathon hull. Roger's dad's old molds that Roger built, I think, less than 10 out of. Quite a few builders were offering this double step deck cruiser back in the day although I don't know who originally tooled it up. I do know it wasn't Roger's dad, he only splashed existing boats. In fact he didn't even lay his hulls up, that was done across the street at Tahiti.

Good stuff, love the deck on this boat it has great lines and is different than what you are used to seeing with this era of boat. Looks like there is some v to the hull which would make for a smooth ride.
