    USA new owner; battery location, lithium? rod holders?

    Hey Nitro owners. I have a 2010 Z7 with a 200 ProXS on the back. It has a 36v fortrex up front. I'd love to be able to move that trolling motor setup up front for the sake of weight distribution. Anyone figured that out? 36v Lithium mounted in the middle storage locker? Anyone ever cute a hole in the front of the middle storage locker to shove a battery in there? (I don't think there enough room to fit a battery there, but throwing it out there.) That brings up the lithium question. Can one big 36v lithium fit up front?

    We do a lot of cane pole fishing. What rod holder setups have you all used for up front an back of the boat? Feel like it goes without saying, but the least amount of cutting/drilling into my boat, the better...

    Any other MUST HAVE mods you have done to your Z7?

    Picture of my son driving the boat this past weekend since his Papa wasn't putting him on the fish :D

    The batteries are in the best spot now. Do not do what your thinking about.

    just replace batteries with lithium if you want to lighten the load. Also onl put light tackle in the front. Heavy tackle in the rear.
