[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 444976, member: 22613"] Here are some of my experiences with weight distribution in a 14' Alumacraft F7 and a 9.8 Merc. No battery, gas tank in rear: 17-18mph Battery, gas tank, and trolling motor in the rear: Awful, 11mph, 8 with passenger Battery up front, gas tank in rear (casting decks and bow mount TM added): 15-17 mph, 14 with passenger sitting on front casting deck, 13 with them just in front of me. With my setup weight has always been better added up front. [/QUOTE]
