[QUOTE="HeavyHook, post: 393572, member: 18315"] I have the trolling motor up front foot controlled. The reason I have my boat set up like I do with the gas tank in the middle is because it was so heavy and the bow would be way up in the air when trying to fish. The trolling motor would barely reach the water. (This only happens if fishing with another person because they would be sitting in the back with 200lbs) Also I have it that way because where I fish you don't get on plane because it's a river that is speed restricted the whole way up and down. (Idle speed) Having that much weight directly in the back made it difficult to steer / operate. It's either I move the tank to the back and put the batteries in the center storage or just keep the tank where it is. And to be completely honest having the tank where it is has caused no problems. I'm fishing from the chair up front and the second person is in the chair on back so not much moving around at all. [/QUOTE]
