Default RE: Boothbay Oyster boat

Kevin this is good to know that I will have to add some shot to the rear. Making a scratch built model has its drawbacks such as not having all the building information when you start. Did you weigh it out or use a specific size container to insure equal amounts of weight?
I found a 6 volt 12 amp battery on batteryspace.com that is very small. I planned raising my deck hatch enough to conceal the battery in that area.

Will I still need ballast in the rear placing the battery as I am?
