With 2 group 27 batteries also up forward right inside the seat of the console, I felt that maybe I had pushed a bit too much weight forward.
She rode great, but at rest she sat a little bow down.
Probably batteries further aft would have fixed it, but I sold her this summer and never got to try.
My batteries were about mid-way of the tank hatch. My first try they will be placed in the same spot. Nothing will be attached when I dunk it so shifting of stuff will be easy. I can't wait! Working on it in the shop at work so every moment I'm not 'working' I'm plotting each move. That's kinda tough cuz I can't concentrate on my work!
