[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 223184, member: 5368"] i like your plans for the back, very similar to what i was thinking of doing with my 14' starcraft this winter. leave the battery where it is in your plan. i have mine up front and it plows all over the place when there are 2 people in the boat, very squirrely steering... it will be much better with weight distribution the way you have it shown, even when you are alone. i am going to move it to the middle when redoing things. i would not deck the front area very high or it might be too unstable to stand. there is not a lot of roll stability up front because of the v. i put a deck 6-8" below the gunwales in the front and it is not usable for standing and fishing, i'm going to lower it 8 or 10".
