It’s bare bones just the hull, original sea ark side console, two batteries, 10 gallon tank and a 54lb thrust trolling motor.  When I bought it came with an older 55hp evinrude that needed lots of work.  I sold it to a friend and just picked up a early 90s Nissan 30hp. All is needed was carbs rebuilt and water pump which I just got done installing. Runs amazing now. Preparing to do a test run this weekend before I put in a floor and do all new electical/Bildge pumps.  What I’m wondering is should I put the batteries towards the front of the boat.  With both large batteries, 10 gallon fuel tank and my wife and I I’m worried about weight distribution. She’s 130 and I’m 200. Only other Jon boat I’ve had was a 14ft with small tank/battery and 9.9 evinrude. Let me know what you think.  Thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
