My current 3 x 27 setup is actually in group 31 boxes, two in the forward hole and one in the aft on a shelf a PO glassed in. The starting battery is in with the forward two. Theoretically I have the height. I could always build a custom box out of fiberglass to minimize the height...but I'd still have to cram 3 of the T105's in the forward compartment.
