if you are planning on putting in a front deck with 3/4in plywood that adds some weight to the front of the boat and helps out! also if you take a passenger when you fish that will help as well! i keep the battery in the back of all of my boats and havent had any problems with weight distribution yet...
i weight 170 and my battery is a BIG deep cycle that weights a ton! lol..[/quote]
Thats another thing I go back and forth with...adding a front deck. I think im just going to put carpeted plywood on all the benches for now, with the pedestal mounts. I seemed to be ok standing on the ply floor and fishing, let me see how it goes. I may rig a front deck I can take out so I have options, depending on who im fishing with or alone. I love the flexibility these boats have...
