[QUOTE="Brine, post: 121680, member: 1053"] I like the area just aft of your current deck. I'd lay something on the ribs to act as a floor, frame out the area and extend your current deck back to cover the battery area, then use a long hatch, or two smaller ones to access the batteries. Battery boxes aren't just to secure the battery, they prevent lead/acid from coming in contact with the hull if by chance the case were to split (which they do). Also, batteries can be overcharged such as the result of a defunct onboard charger, and will boil the acid out of them. The reason the cases and boxes are made of plastic and not metal. [/QUOTE]
