Thumbs up

Let us know how she sits in the transom with the weight shift. I cut a hatch in the same place in my V and was surprised wellcraft didn't utilize this space. I'm wanting to get her back and mount the hardtop an see how she rides before I buy trim tabs. It should make a difference, those batteries are heavy.

Bradford here's a shot of her at rest after the battery relo...

So it did have an effect on how she sits...I would not ditch the idea of trim tabs because of this...trim tabs, IMO are the best single thing you can do for one of these boats there is...they step the over all ride & performance level UP strongly in a V20 and I would imagine most any power boat...

Kracker, the cables came from NAPA store...total 22' of #2 cable (not 2/0) came to right at $80...if you find it cheap, just make sure it's the good stuff...this is a pretty important connection!!...
