I bought a 2007 2072 Alumacraft that was a barebones tiller. No storage, no nothing. 3 batteries and a 12gal fuel cell in back. Previous owner bought a simple $100 console and rigged it up for steering while still sitting on the back deck in the same spot as if you were using a tiller. It's got a 2015 115 Merc 4stroke. As it sits right now, it's extremely light and fast out of the hole but porpoises really bad.
I mainly catfish the rivers and want to take the boat to a local fabricator to build dual aluminum consoles all the way forward against the front deck (front deck is about 5 feet long)
On to the question : will this put too much weight forward? Will the boat still have decent performance? Anything I need to be careful of or look for? Any comments or suggestions appreciated.
I'll try and attach pics. Don't make fun of my fence
