[QUOTE="Buddychrist, post: 284714, member: 9403"] You can put both the batteries and gas tank in the bow, gas tank all the way up front and the batteries a few feet behind that. So basically you could build a platform with a hatch for the gas tank and then a drop down step with a side hatch for the batteries. The trick to V-Hulls is to get the weight evened out and the more weight you get in the boat the better it is going to ride and stability will be increased as well! My 14' Mirrocraft is a Deep V-Hull and empty it's like trying to balance on a basket ball but with 300-500lbs of stuff to weigh it down it rides like a 19' SeaPro really grabbing the water at high speed and you can walk around at idle or completely still without falling over from no balance.
