position them so the tops were even with the water line when all tanks were
blown. My thinking was to gain the maximum freeboard available since any
portion of the tanks above the water line contributes nothing to buoyancy.
However Alec very correctly pointed out that the portion above the water line
functions as reserve buoyancy to counteract roll when that side of the boat is
depressed such as when someone steps on that tank.</font></div>

Another option is to change the design, decide what your priorities are.
What is most important? if long transits are the plan then you may need to
change things. If fuel cost is a consideration, another change.
