[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 349170, member: 13419"] Battery(s) will be going in compartments cut into the benches with tempress hatches. Gas tank will be on the floor right in front of the motor. Aside from the trolling motor and passengers everything else will be pretty lightweight. No wood decks or anything. Pedestal seats and posts will stay pretty low. I think its a 13" post and I wasn't planning on using them will under way. Another problem I am running in to with the conversion is how to deal with the motor controls. They are configured for side console with the right side mounting on to that aluminum plate. With the center console conversion my only option would be to control the throttle with my left hand or fab up some bracket so it mounts up the right way. Another member here solved that problem by building a wood addition to his console, but I am trying to avoid adding width to the console and the use of wood.
