[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 178568, member: 1776"] wow, that's some kind of livewell, if it ever leaks, it might sink the boat! :roll: Looks good - the center beam looks high, but that just makes sure there's extra room for floatation. And yes, these V boats have curves EVERYWHERE! On mine, the only straight surface is the transom. And you might not need to put the batteries all the way in the front. With the livewell and seat in the middle to front, The motor will weigh down the back a bit, but if you have a troller in front too, that's a lot of weight. If it was me, I'd mount most everything in it's estimated place, take her to the lake and start playing with the battery placement. If the batteries are too far in front and the livewell filled, you might have trouble getting on plane. I'd guess that the batteries would move to be close to the livewell (if you have a front trolling mobor) [/QUOTE]
