[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 441387, member: 11893"] I would give it a try in front of the console like you have in some of your pictures. The guy that normally fishes with me weights 275lb+ and sets on that cooler up front. The boat handles great like that. I have even had one of my 100lb sons on that large cooler and my 120lb wife setting on that little cooler up front. The boat comes up on plane in 1-2 boat lengths. The boat has another group 27 battery in the front compartment, a smaller lawn tractor battery and 3 bank charger under the console, a trolling motor on the front deck, and two 15lb anchors on board all the time. The motor on there is a 60hp 4stroke Merc with a 12 pitch 3 blade stainless prop. I run right at 6200rpm with my wife, two boys, and all the fishing gear and ice required for a full day trip on board. Originally I had the stock 14 pitch prop and the boat took a dozen or so boat lengths to get on plane, but ran a faster top end even though it maxed out at 5200 rpm. With that 12 I can hammer down on it anywhere and it jumps right up on plane. Rob [/QUOTE]
