My awesome welding nephew just put together a frame and added an aluminum front deck (removable) and also put in some solid aluminum for my bow mount terrova. Not using a gas motor. Just 2 batteries in parallel in the back (about 60 lbs).
The deck and front addition with the motor added a little over 120 lbs in the front. I won't be able to take it out in the water for another month but will be using it for a smaller protected calm lake for the most part.
Is that too much weight in the front? I also have a 1/2 " plywood piece between the middle and back benches. Another 30 lbs roughly.
Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated. I plan on fishing off the deck (I am about 200 lbs) and maybe someone else in the back around 220.
Thanks!
