[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 428605, member: 9884"] Just out of curiosity, what group are they? Regardless, that's a LOT of weight in the back. Assuming each battery weighs about 45 lbs, that's 180 lbs, plus whatever you weigh. Add your engine, fuel, platform, and that generator you have pictured...I think you should consider moving the batteries up front. Now, k owig that you have a generator, I'm assuming you bowfish which means everyone stands on the front of the boat. If that is the case, I'd say your seriously pushing the weight limit of that boat. My only suggestion is to play with shifting the weight around, and if you simply can't, I would add floatation pods to the transom. Maybe have some custom made to take full advantage of the positive floatation. [/QUOTE]
