[QUOTE="rachbra, post: 428607, member: 22042"] I have group 31 deep cycle marine batteries, I know it is a lot of weight but for some reason once I get two adults on the bow of the boat we still sit only 5 or less inches from the water, that was when I tested it with just two batteries. That's why I set up two more batteries in back to counter our weight. That boat manufacture tag says it can hold just over 1000 lb total weight. Generally with the guys I take with me we get to about 800 lb max with whats on the boat. I just want it so that if I go alone and i step to the edge it just seems like the whole boat wants to flip. Not sure if Dropping those to the floor will actually make a difference or because the weight is evened out at the height left and right that it would do nothing. [/QUOTE]
