[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 47465, member: 55"] I don't know if you noticed, but my boat has battery boxes in it. The reason for this is not to hold the battery in place, but to save the boat if the battery leaks. If a battery splits, or if for some reason the water fill lid comes off, it doesn't take much acid to burn a nice hole in an aluminum hull. Now, I think you said your boat will spend all its time in electric only, so it won't take the pounding that mine has, and is less likely to pop a battery case, but in any case, it may be something worth pondering. If you ever split a case, you will be glad you spent the money. If that were mine, I may not put a battery tray in it, but I would probably find some sort of plastic tray or plastic container around the house to put the battery under. Just my 2 pennies worth.
