[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 275759, member: 7791"] I love the layout you have created but I will agree with the posts above that you will want more weight forward. If your steering console was further forward than it may be ok, but with it back that far and the motor, gas tank, battery also back there the boat may porpoise and take longer to get on plane. And if you have another adult in there back by the steering console you will really be stern heavy when riding. I would advise getting more weight forward for sure. I run with over 200 lbs forward of my front bench to keep it from porpoising......... 14' boat though. [/QUOTE]
