Status: offline 		I'm checking out my options for my not as yet built Dumas PT boat - the smaller one with a wooden hull. I really like the Mack Products setup they offer - twin - but they have it set up on 12 volts. Can I put a big 12V battery (5.5 lbs)  in her without it going to the bottom? I know I could do double 6V systems but they are just about as heavy. Any suggestions? Anybody done this? Thanks in advance for your help.
