[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 165875, member: 3833"] Thanks Jasper. I considered putting the battery up front, but I think that would be too much up front. I'm only about 150lbs, so I think I need the weight in the back. The balance is good as-is. If you look back on page 1 you'll see I have about a 20gal tank under the front deck. It's only had about 6 or 8 gallons in it, but so far it is working nicely to keep the front down. The battery is a large starting battery. I may swap it out with the deep cycle I have on my other boat, since it's primary use will be to run the TM. I already had the piece of wire for the trolling motor, so it was easy to hook it up to the battery where it was. The boat is also really stable side-side. I put my little boy on one of the side benches to do his business, and there was no chance whatsoever of tipping or sinking the side even with both of us leaning over it. [/QUOTE]
