Re: Weight Distribution
Steve,
We don't really store much up front - 1 18# anchor with maybe 250' of line, life jackets, and 6 medium tackle rods.
Alex,
No water up front. I have a bilge pump up there because of the bow-down attitude. The aft pump doesn't see any action while at rest.
JohnB,
I saw pictures of your boat in other discussion topics (very nice by the way) and noticed that your boat sits very level, even slightly low in the stern, just where I would want mine to be. My fuel tank goes as far forward as the cabin door and back about maybe 18" beyond the storage boxes that the helm and passenger seats are on. My feeling is that the tank is in fact set farther forward to compensate for the extra weight of 2 V-6 outboards. Both batteries are in the transom boxes.
Let's put it this way, the transom corners at the chine sit maybe 1" below water.
