Adding an extra battery in a '08 200XL

[Rubber_Duck]

I just ordered a 36V Ultrex to replace my 24V Maxxum. I plan to get rid of the two group 27 batteries I currently have, and pick up 3 new group 31s. This means I'll have to find a place for that 3rd battery. I'm planning on building a shelf to sit over the bilge and put the battery and a little storage there. Does anyone have pictures of what they did to fit an extra battery in this boat? I'm thinking of getting some steel angles from work, building a frame to clamp to the seat support plate, coat the frame with bed liner, and put a thick cutting board in it for the flat surface for stuff to sit on.

Thanks!

I have a Stratos 201 XL 2008 Model and I have 4 batteries in mine that fit along with a 3 bank charger and an oil tank.
