I am thinking about moving batteries and gas tank foward, under the casting deck up front. Any opinions about this? Please. My only thought is that they will be more apt to getting bounced around. Another option is to move the console and tower foward.
On the bright side, she looks like she will flat out haul a**!

With out the floor raised I would think it will be too heavy. After helping my son 2 years ago redo totally a 20 and ad a 140 zuke. I was glad his floor was raised. And a lot of wet foam removed also. I tried to help a guy out that had a 20 mako that was redone wrong!!!!?? He put a 150 yam 4 stroke on there. His boat would not only not self bail? It almost sunk when the bilge pump died during a rain storm. The guy that did his boat redo installed a new floor on top of the old floor and left all the wet foam under the floor also?
