I had a '89 Mercury BlackMax on it before and that engine is about 100lbs lighter than this Suzuki 150. Also, I converted the live well in the floor such that it's a bait tank that holds approx. 40 gals(~320lbs). With the BlackMax, two guys standing in the back and the bait tank full, it didn't take much for water to come over the transom. I've moved both batteries inside the center console and I'm tempted to add some weight in the forward storage area. I'm thinking the walk-through V20s don't have this weight distribution problem because of the added weight already on the front of the boat.
