[QUOTE="russ010, post: 68148, member: 677"] If it were me, I would put the 2 batteries in front of the rear bench on either side where you talked about extending that rear platform. That way you won't have all of the weight in the back. I'm not sure how much gas weighs per gallon, but I know a gallon of water weighs 8lbs - so a full tank I'm sure is easily 50lbs or so including the tank. If you put them long ways, that should extend your back deck about 18" to the front, and leave you ample room in the middle for storage. As far as decking goes, I think you'll be fine with coming up to the tops of your benches... shouldn't be too bad with sturdiness, but I'd still be careful standing with 2 people until you've tried it out and gotten your sea legs. You'll have a sweet setup once you get it completed... can't wait to see your progress [/QUOTE]
