[QUOTE="Derek, post: 221859, member: 2615"] I have 2 batteries and 12 gallon tank. One battery (group 27 ~57lbs) for the gas motor and the 12 gallons of fuel (~72lbs when full) are in the rear most compartment. One battery (group 31 ~64lbs) for the trolling motor is in the front left compartment. I also have my tackle up front too. Which is the next heaviest thing in the boat, well other then myself :roll: . Nothing else is really "heavy". Biggest problem with moving the other battery forward is it would require me to re-wire alot of my boat. I would also have to pull my boat apart to get the gas tank up front. Would a hydrofoil help with porpoising? I have no problem getting on plane, which is what I though the purpose of a hydrofoil was. It porpoises after I'm on plane. [/QUOTE]
