[QUOTE="79XS, post: 519866, member: 36659"] Hello, I have a late 1950s Deep C. Windshield and steering wheel are up front, not mid mounted. Currently, I run a 1961 Johnson 10HP and a 5gal tank. If I go in the very rear of the boat to pull-start or fix the engine, my 230lbs weight is enough cause the upper drains to take on a bit water, mostly if the boat is rocking a bit, see the picture below. I do not have a photo to post, so I used one off Google Images, forgive me if its a boat owned by someone here. I would like to switch to a 1950s 30HP motor. I am worried about the added weight of a battery plus a larger motor. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure if I would survive losing a battery and 20HP worth of weight over winter...🥵 😁 Thanks. [ATTACH type="full" width="467px"]122774[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
