[QUOTE="Mudduck, post: 127351, member: 1929"] I placed my battery in the front of my 14 ft Deep V hull Lund by cutting the seat and designing a compartment for it. I will be moving it back to the rear very soon. On choppy days you would much rather be "Bow High" slamming through the waves than plowing nose first through them. It can really send your boat lunging wildly in any direction. I have found my boat does not handle well when running wide open across the lake. It's a bit dangerous with the 65LBS of battery and 180LBS of person up front plus the weight of plywood, seat, life jackets, anchor and whatever else I put in the front compartment (built similar to yours.) Take what russ said into consideration, I sure wish i had before spending $50.00 on battery cables to run the electric start on my outboard! [/QUOTE]
