Thanks guys. Sad to hear that the stringers are full height. I doubt that I will be able to do much foam removal from just the rod box access.
Pretty good idea K - I thought about cutting access under the port livewell but for tackle/storage, not battery balancing. I kind of like using the fishbox up front for storage so this might be a better option (plus shorter cables - yea!). From memory I agree that there is probably sufficient height in there.
Thinking about it some more, I'm thinking I'm pretty screwed on loosing the list save cutting the deck which is not gonna happen. I can barely straighten it out by sitting on the port livewell and I'm almost 200 lbs. Moving a 50 lb battery from one side to the other is only a 100 lb shift. Moving two batteries to the centerline as originally planned is no better left to right (although the weight would now be forward which is a plus).
