I am changing from a twin 130 engine set up to a single, mid 2000 2 stroke Yamaha 250 0X66.trying to even the weight out ,the way it was,by moving the batteries from under the front of the console , to aft of the console, to compensate for the missing second engine.the scuppers are at standard height,and the deck will be same as original freeboard.with the lighter engine on the back, I figure I will be OK.also I'm changing the fuel tank from 135 gallons to 110.should I push the tank fwd 18",balance wise, OR, leave the aft part of the tank where it was ,at the original aft bulkhead,and open up the front 18" ?? There is no hatch fwd of the console as of now.An above deck, portable livewell is always an option,but last option.Where were livewells originally put back in those years?must have been under the deck???
