You are correct Jerry...as I mentioned the 27' we used to run around on, and every 27' I have seen since...had the oil tanks in the aft stern bilge (starboard) along with the batteries (port).

Oil tank(s) location was the first thing that jumped out when I looked the pics.

Anyone who knows,.. backing down on a fish..or for whatever reason in any kind of seas, you swamp the swim step and or splash well.
