[QUOTE="Derek, post: 223438, member: 2615"] The porpoising goes away with a person sitting on the front deck, so I'm thinking I need to move more weight forward. I'm wondering if moving the trolling motor battery to under the front deck will help enough. Biggest problem with that is I currently need to remove the battery to charge it. So easy access is a must. Also installed a radio in the boat. A friend gave me an old car CD player he had laying around in his garage. I made 2 simple angle brackets and mounted the unit under my console out of the weather. Picked up a set of 6.5" marine speakers by Boss. I mounted them under the seats facing into the floor area of the boat, they sound great. Also picked up a universal antenna from the parts store. I didn't want anything sticking up to get my lures caught on. But I found that the radio came in almost as clearly with the antenna laying on the deck. I currently have it just tucked in along the outside of the console and extending under my motor controls. Receives signal with no problems. [/QUOTE]
