[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 176909, member: 4627"] Few years back I looked at a guys boat, blazer sport 15' 48" with a 50 yamaha jet on it. It was tiller handle, had one pedistal seat in the back and another about a rib in front of that. It didn't have balance issues. You don't need to put all the weight to the front. Most guys aroung here have gas tanks batteries behind the bench in the back and they usaully have the seat on or right in front of the bench. Tilt and trim will help alot to balance the boat while driving it. If it was me I would mount your console right in front of the back bench. I wouldn't mount a seat for a passegner to ride on the deck, depending on where your located they can give you a ticket for it. It's fine while your fishing, They've started to give ticket in Missouri this year for it. Set it up to suite you o=and your need. Just my opinion :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
