So I plan on buying 12 gallon fuel tank. I'm using my 6 for mock up. The battery tray is under the console for mock up also in the picture. What would be the best placement for my fuel and battery. Should I put the tank and the battery on the opposite side of the console to balance side to side...

Thanks Va Larry I will mount my batteries up front and use the area behind the bench for the tackle box and maybe a fish if I can do some catching. Keeping the boat level will be really nice and it would make me feel more comfortable not seeing the bow up and the transom going down so deep. I...
