[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 495970, member: 7021"] A couple of notes... 1. Tiller steered.... so me (260#), fuel, starting battery, and OB are all near/at stern. 2. Small TM deck is what I am currently contemplating. 3. I removed 100# of weight that was in two 50# bags at forward-most bow area under small forward bench. This weight was used to help get boat on plane much quicker. Works very well. 4. TM and one 12V battery will restore this weight and then some. A casting deck, as you mentioned (on top of both middle and small forward benches) is also a thought. Just not sure how stable the side to side rocking would be. I agree...if I did install this deck, then maybe the battery should be in front of middle bench rather that behind small forward bench. [/QUOTE]
