[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 444858, member: 22374"] Yup, squat is bad and may be corrected with forward cells. OTOH if you have a rider up front, the reverse may occur, the bow diving and if a wave gets you the wrong way, well... In my 1032 I have the very heavy cell midships to level the hull but it's so squirrely I don't take passengers. My new Lowe 1040 rides with a lot less squat and so far I will keep the battery in the stern as it rides flat even under "extreme" speed of 4 mph ;-) Lastly of less concern is protecting cables from damage and increasing cable gauge to accommodate power for your TM if it's in the rear.
