[QUOTE="sturdi87, post: 127309, member: 2691"] I think you should go with option 2 also; your not going to be standing on that part of the deck most likely, it would probably be a little unstable up there, so with option 1 your really just wasting some space, no matter what you decide to use the compartment for, battery, anchor, or to store your lucky charms, it doesn't matter, your gaining that much more storage area is the bottom line, otherwise your really just kinda wasting space and we all know in a 14' space is valuable. I plan on doing something similar in mine. Something else to consider, I have read that batteries don't necessarily like riding in the front of the boat because there is more movement, vibration, getting knocked around basically up there than in the rear. Nonetheless I am highly considering mounting my battery in that same location basically, because I just don't think I will ever notice whatever damage is done to the battery, as I plan to mount it pretty securely. I could be wrong about this, anyone know if this is a wives tale or if some real damage could be done to your battery? It would sure be nice to get that weight up there too. [/QUOTE]
