Fuel Bladder

Thinking about Ken's issue with locking a wheel.

I see you can buy 500 gallon fuel bladders for less than $2,000.  I suspect
you can sell then for $1,000 when your done with it.  Assuming you could
find a place to put it on the boat, and secure it, that sure seems like a
reasonable alternative to installing gear to lock a wheel?  Hey, wait, Ken
you have that big hot tub on the 3rd deck of your boat, just fill that puppy
up with fuel and your good to go!  I'm going a bit stir crazy here in
