I'm happy to keep my batteries where they are, low. Better from a boat
stability standpoint (small yes, but real).
I love my M-18 inboard but it sure puts a lot of weight in the stern.
and the fuel tank. and the batteries... wish more of this was forward
somehow. I strive to keep weight out of the ends of the boat.
