I'm quite confident Mark knows what he's doing, probably better than having to add ballast weight in the bow!

Either way not having the huge tank going up to the front will keep the weight back in the rear. Won't be as much sloshing well. First time out in the spring I will have butter flys..

Boat is coming together like a piece of art work James !!

I like the thought of an 'extra' Transom bracket.

Looks like those Props are nicely labbed also ..nice.
