Battery in the front, middle, or back of the boat

Hi I would like to know some opinions on where I should put the battery on my 10 ft Lowe Little Jon I am trying to figure out the best place to put the battery. It seems like when I put the battery in the back the bow sits really far up out of the water which to me makes it feel unstable. I have a 27 series battery and a 40lb minn kota trolling.

I would try it just behind the middle seat.

Thank you for you advice. I just looked up minn kota's suggestion on what wire to use to extend the cables on the trolling motor. That's tomorrow's project
