[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 406603, member: 1055"] Good thread. I just rebuilt a 16' aluminum boat. I used 5/8" plywood, replacing the original 1/2 plywood. I moved the 30 gallon live-well from the port side to the bow. I put a Group 29 battery for the trolling motor in front of the live-well. In this configuration the boat sat a little bow down, even under power, with or without water in the live-well. I moved the group 29 trolling motor battery to the rea battery compartment, just in front of the tiller motor. That altered everything. Bow sits higher in the water, boat travels bow up slightly above level while on plane, just where it should be. [/QUOTE]
