[QUOTE="CLM, post: 329105, member: 8708"] When I got my boat the PO had the little console way up in the front. With just my weight up there it really made the boat ride funny, with my wife and the dog in the back it rode better but still didn't plane out well. So I figure with the weight of the trolling motor and battery up front, then outboard/battery/6 gallon tank at the back, that I better keep everything else pretty much mid-ship to help my poor little 25hp out some. Plus it really was the only location for me to have the size of livewell that I wanted and keep it as low as possible. My other thought being that when full it might stabilize the boat a little more when we are on decks, kind of as a ballast. Mine is 16' across the top from transom to tip. I really had twofootitus and wished I had bought a bigger boat until I fished with my boss. He has a '83 Fischer marine 15' aluminum boat, that can't be more than 5' across the beam. Now I feel like I have a yacht, lol. [/QUOTE]
