Hey fellows, could anyone tell me if its better to balance bow to stern first and the port to starboard or visa versa or does it matter, only been out in the boat twice so far since purchasing and just threw everything in the boat kinda where I could put it, tackle, cg required stuff, 38 Volt 112 Ultrex on port side, the 36 volt tm battery is in the back of the front deck compartment (Lithium) rods are all in rod locker, life jackets, clothing and cg stuff are in compartment behind drivers seat, tackle is in rear port side locker along with battery charger (2 bank) and cranking battery (lithium) and oil tank are next to gas tank with oil tank closer to port side and battery a little starboard side of center. I ordered some Lead Wake ballast bags (one 50 lb and two 25) to start with, they are very nice with handles but expensive. If needed I can get more because I want to get this set up perfectly. I am assuming I need like a half livewell full of water to simulate fishing condition? Thank you for any and all help. Loving the ride and the fishability is no longer of any concern, plenty of room front and back, never really understood why you needed an aircraft carrier front deck when all of your fishing time is spent in a 2 foot by 2 foot circle for the most part.
