Might be just me, but with the tank up front I prefer 5/16 line.

Briggs recommends 1/4". I run a 35 GTR with my tank in the front of a 19' boat with 1/4" and never had a problem. No electric fuel pump or anything.

1/4" line. I had 5/16 on mine for a while and it caused lots of problems. My boat is 16 feet long with the tanks under the bow no issues that way.

I have run 5/16 on both my boats with fuel tank in the front- over 20' runs and they work fine with the stock pump (over 250 hours).
