[QUOTE="userspam, post: 267571, member: 9005"] Derek maybe you can help me or someone else. I currently have a powerdrive v2 40lb and a 6 gallon tank. I am upgrading to a 12 gallon tank. as for the trolling motor i wanted to add a terrova 80 (which as i'm sure you know is 24volt)..but i'm worried about carrying 4 batteries in the back with 12 gallon tank, i feel as if that is to much with the 40hp Force motor back there. I was thinking about adding compartments in the front to carry the 4 new batteries as there is plenty of room to work with as i do not use the rod holders. They are Interstate 29's and weigh in at roughly 62lbs PER battery so this would be an additional 248lbs in the front. Is this a major problem? I'm not sure if weight in the front matters or what. I also considered the terrova 55lb which would reduce me down to 2 batteries in the front. Or if i went with the 12volt 55lb I could keep the 2 batteries in the rear compartment. What would you do? If anyone has any idea's/suggestions that would be excellent! Thank you in advance John [/QUOTE]
