The 2 easiest things to move are the fuel tanks and batteries.  In the ops setup I would probably move both of those all the way up front if possible.  I had to move both batteries to the front of my alumacraft for times when I was by myself or I would porpoise terribly. That was on a 1648 but 5 gallons of fuel, 2 battery's, 20hp outboard and 260lb me at the time was too much weight in the stern to plane off properly. Throwing 150lbs of battery upfront turned it into a different boat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
