Getting some good progress there!!

I would not move the batteries forward. I have done it on mine due to minimal locations to do so. My boat rides bow heavy, and among some other issues I need to sort out. My 87 rides the best with a 150qt cooler full of ice on top of the splash well with water in splash well. Otherwise I'm tabbing and trimming to make it handle right.

My two cents, find a way to make a hatch below deck back aft while everything is open. I think with the bracket back there it exaggerate the weight distributed forward. I want to do this on my boat but I have a 94 gallon fuel tank that runs across the entire deck along the center line to the baitwell that prevents this.
