[QUOTE="midwestfisher, post: 294163, member: 10185"] I have a 1988 Bass Pro V16 Guide Special boat. I just purchased a bigger motor. At present I had my gas tank (6 gallon remote), starting battery and my trolling motor battery in the very back by the motor above deck. With the additional weight of the new motor I want to balance out the weight better. As I have to replace the flooring in the main part of the boat thought this would also be a good time to do this. I have looked at the boxes that you can add with covers however these can get quite expensive. Am wondering if anyone had suggestions on what to use to put the battery in to keep it waterproof and be able tie it down as the rules here in Packerland requires the battery to be secured. Would like it to be practical along with fairly inexpensive. Maybe I can't have both ? Appreciate any help you could offer. Midwestfisher [/QUOTE]
