    I have a few ideas but would definitely love to see some finished products. Thanks everyone!
    One last thing, I’ve read that people weren’t having performance issues with installing x2. If you did have performance issues let me know. I would definitely love to hear what happend

    They were mounted that way on my '07 P2. Made working in there and getting batteries in and out that much worse. I ended up taking out my charger (added some connectors and made it no longer "on-board") which freed up enough room to mount them on the floor.

    I slid the battery tray back on the passenger side and mounted pumps in front of it. Been a handful of years with no issues. Between 2x blades, bigger graphs and an ultrex on the bow my 2017 with a 150 pro xs went from a 64-65mph boat to a 60-62 mph tourney loaded boat
