[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 475167, member: 15636"] I’d put the batteries to the side to offset the operator weight too. Note setting ‘trim’ on small boats, especially with motors w/ no power trim is CRITICAL and often there is no 1 ‘set it & forget it’ trim pin or gear location position. Add another person and you need to adjust. Unlike the other poster, I prefer weight in the boat astern - it carries better, is safer, the boat will take/handle seas better and the boat will be faster ... ‘provided’ that the correct trim attitude has been achieved. Easiest to move around is 6-gallon fuel tanks. [/QUOTE]
