It will have a 30 horse hanging off the rear. One of the reasons I wanted to relocate the battery was to free up some rear weight in case I decide to install a small Bob's jack plate. I have been been kicking around the idea of having a jack plate installed. Not for running skinny, but for the purpose of "scooting" in and out of skinny water.

The front of the boat will be home to the fuel tank, a trolling motor and a trolling motor battery.
