[QUOTE="Derek, post: 267596, member: 2615"] I actually just went through this. I have had a 12gal tank in the back, fits great but uses 1/2 the space in that compartment. I used to run a 12v motor with the battery upfront in the pass side compartment. I now have a MG pro 75lb thrust 24v motor. I was able to fit 3 batteries (2-G31s and 1-G27) plus the 12 gallon tank in the back. There is not a ton of room left but I would think you could fit a 4th back there. Why do you need 4 batteries? Due to my boat storage area I need to be able to pull my batteries out to charge them. So I had to use the rear compartment for ease of access. This caused porpoising issues even with my 70hp due to weight not being evenly distributed. There is just too much weight in the rear. I would love to install my 2-G31 batteries under the front deck. When I am able to plug the boat in I will likely install an on-board charger and move those batteries forward to more evenly weight the boat. Until then the hydro-foil I installed on the motor solves the porpoising issue. [/QUOTE]
