    I will try to message you pictures later today.
    I have 4 lithiums and 1 lead acid battery, 2 pp pumps, oil tank, and Ionics charger, 2 battery switches, up and down switch for the Bob's jack plate.
    They all fit nicely.

    Mvan,
    check your messages, pictures sent, don't know how to post on here.

    Lithium batteries are Lion Energy from online Costco, 100A size at 23 lbs. each. The footprint of the batteries is a bit smaller than group 24 size, they are strapped down and have 1/2" foam separating them from each other, so space saving from not needing battery trays.

    The weight savings was 75 lbs. and I have 5 batteries total.( a lead acid for cranking) The Ionics charger is lighter than the old original charger.
    I think I am at the original weight after adding two 10' Blades, brackets and pumps.
