I would be more apt to put the batteries in the back as that will allow the motor to trim the bow better, which means a more efficient running rig. With the gas tank up front, you will have quite a bit of weight to trim up. any extra weight you put up front will only make the bow plow more.
The prop you go with will be determined by the rpms you pull, which will mean trying different pitches until you find one that puts you in the desired rpm range.
My gut instinct on that boat and motor combo you would be somewhere around 11 to 13in pitch.
Then, if there is anything more you can move to the back of the boat would be a good thing. |
