[QUOTE="dearl, post: 429903, member: 1760"] You'll be ok with the weight, as long as you have the batteries and generator weight In the back, the problem I see is the height of the deck, any weight you put one the front deck is going to transfer down your gunnels to the transom cap possibly pulling the gunnels away from the transom. Keep your eye on the welds where the gunnels and transom meet, and reinforce if needed. I see the tip factor someone referred to, With the deck as high as it is, when you step towards the rail the boat will probably feel like it wants to pitch you over, you'll find out what the limits are once you put it in the water. Deck looks great, a lot of time and materials involved, Hope it works out for you. [/QUOTE]
