Hey Moose Glad you like. Been going through CSC and taking lil tidbits from other people's experiences and trying get what I can right. So valuable to have a forum like this.
To answer your questions. As far as the floor is concerned I guess, besides less work, the reason we didn't go all the way back to the transom was mainly so that we could have more access to the bilge pumps, fuel system, buss bar, electrical lines to engine etc. Storage wasn't much of a thought as I plan on making glass forward/aft seating pods (port cooler, stb storage) along with the cuddy and under deck storage is ample.
I mainly chose to put the batteries in the bow to keep them away from moisture as much as possible. I also wanted to put some weight forward as I am installing an Armstrong bracket with a 300 g2 (and 8hp yammi 4 kicker for crossings/longer range fishing trips). Will make for a long and $$$ run to the engine but not bad for rest of electrical system. Keep the questions coming and appreciate any input anyone can give me. And thanks to everyone on this site that share their passion and knowledge of these hulls.
