Weight distribution

I have a '51 12' Starcraft semi v and am getting ready to fix er up. I am 220 lbs, have a 74 Johnson 6hp and trollinng motors front and rear. When I had it on the water, the aft sat very low in the water (bow pointing up) and was difficult to impossible to get the boat on a plane to see where I was going. I was thinking of placing the batteries in the Bow as far forward as I can, and running cable back to the rear trolling motor. I'm no boating expert and would like some advice to whether this is a good idea or are there other alternatives.

Moving weight around can help.

OK thanks...obviously over thinking it. My biggest concern was power degredation running battery cable from the front to the back.

No problem on the battery cable run.I ran a #4 tinned wire & never looked back.I posted a while back where to get the wire.Do a search,not that expensive.

Cool, thanks for the info.
