My dealer put the two batteries right inside the storage compartment on the passenger side (under the glove box area) - I will certainly move these to make this compartment more 'friendly' for my crew's gear, but would rather move the battery weight toward the rear than toward the front. Curious as to whether anyone has moved their batteries to the rear gull wing compartments to maximize the static weight of the boat to the rear for boarding? If yes, how difficult was it to route the electrical cables? I would normally try to figure this out myself, but I broke my arm a week after picking up the boat, so I'm a gimp right now (at least the season here in PA is pretty much over...).

Isn't one of the batteries in the stock location? Under the observers seat on the left side. Did the dealer move it?
Moving them aft should not be a problem, there is plenty of room along the sides, however I don't know how you would get them over to the engine. The cables on the left should not be a problem but the ones on the right might be tough.I'm on a boat man. I got my flippy floppies.... -
Nope, both batteries are under the passenger console - dealer emptied out the spot under the observer bench (far left) as I have a heater vent there. Hose doesn't take up much space, so I'm going to leave that cubby open as a little personal storage spot for someone's shiz.
I also considered running the cables aft starboard could be more trouble than worth. May just put both batteries aft port - I've got three 50 lb. lead bars that I can use to strike a balance if things are thrown off.
