Valiente-
What the H*** were they thinking putting the tanks just under the deck? Yes, I'd imagine that moving the water tanks and adding the four 8D batteries is going to seriously improve the boat's stability. I hope you're setting up a way to transfer water from one tank to another, to help with trimming the boat out. Each tank will be about 500 lbs. full, and being able to transfer water between them will help you keep the boat in proper trim.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
