I have a question regarding battery placement. My tracker seems to be light in the bow or stern heavy. It has the 40 4 stroke motor, a 6.6 gal gas tank, and 2 batteries in the back. I was surprised when I could pick up the tongue of the trailer with 1 arm. It also seems to want to porpoise if I try to trim out the motor. Over the weekend I moved 1 battery to the front compartment for a test and I think it did better, but it started to storm and my test got cut short. What do most of you do with the weight distribution in these boats. Honestly, I thought the boat would do a little better in the waves than it does and I wonder if part of it is just being to light in the bow. I'm considering putting 2 batteries in the bow compartment along with my onboard charger which I have not installed yet. What do you guys think?
Thanks for any help,
Tom
