[QUOTE="WeeHooker, post: 507496, member: 34886"] Sounds like a nice rig but it might take some tweaking to get it right for you. Here are a couple of my thoughts: -1'st, I'd move the battery forward. Tank too if you have room. ( You only need a 3 gal tank, why take up the extra bulk and weight of the 6). I've done this on every ( 13-16') tin boat I've rigged in the last 30 years. It makes a significant difference in how the boat runs, planes and rides. IMHO. It also frees up storage space in the rear where I'm operating/fishing. -Some don't like them but I find a hydrofoil on the motor helps with squatting/stearing stability too. - Building a seat extension might be an option but moving / rebuilding the console to the center is not going to be a small or cheap fix .
