[QUOTE="fakirone, post: 359974, member: 14476"] It actually pretty weight forward now. The middle/front of the boat drafts about 6" now, it's about 3" at the transom. There are three batteries and an on board charger in front of the boat (forward of the blue line under the rear part of the front deck), two blue Optimas and a ultra light motorcycle battery for the starter. The previous owner wired originally put the one battery up there and I haven't had the time to rewire so I put the batteries there for now. I am planning to hollow out the two compartments next to the transom and stick a battery in each. I figure that once I get the pods welded on the rear should easily hold them and the extra 74 lbs from the motor I plan on switching to. Without the extra weight from a 4 stroke I will definitely need to move the batteries back after the pods are attached. [/QUOTE]
