In an attempt to positively affect the balance point of the hull and promote bow lift on my 2021 Ranger RT198P, do you think it is worth the effort to move my 3 batts... let's call that 160lbs... from where they are to the positions I have marked up in red? So 2 batts as far back against the transom as possible on either side of the open access to the bilge, and the 3rd turned sideways and centered in front of that bilge access?
Hoping someone who has done similar to a 19-21ft tin or glass bass boat will chime in... especially to boats with the gas tank under the seats like mine. Because of my boat's balance point, and because of needing some more horsepower, the boat naturally wants to run flat but will get up on pad. Searching for a little more lift.
Pretty sure it will not hurt but not sure if it will help...
