Reel, on my V, i moved the batteries from the rear compartment under the splash well to the fish box area in the floor, behind the tank(about 4 feet fwd)I had to completely refigure the Mckee(haven't even run it since) by moving the tank under the drivers bench, moved the battery under the bench as well, moved the whole bench fwd about 5 inches. It moved a 12 gal tank fwd 24 inches and the battery 36. Get some freinds to stand in different places in the boat while you try it, its easier than moving fixed weight. I've noticed that on a lot of factory bracketed boats, they use transom wedges to tuck the engine under more, might be anotehr idea for you
