[QUOTE="baja.bound, post: 480406, member: 29877"] Im considering buying a used Valco 16 Bayrunner Baja style of boat. I would like to make an awesome truck topper taylored to fish Baja. I would like to gut the boat and install new floors and make it an open floor plan with a tiller steer. As I was looking at boats, I noticed that the bow always rides high with a single person on the tiller. Most of the boats Ive seen has the battery and the gas near the transom. Is it a huge no-no to have the batteries and gas on the bow of the boat? Also, has anyone used a 16 footer or larger as a truck topper? If so, do you have any photos? Also, if I gut the boat and install new floors, am I going to have issues with the floors coming out while the boat is upside down on a 800 mile road trip? Thank you amigos! [/QUOTE]
