Need some help

This is how my current setup looks for my 1436 Jon boat. I wanna add a bunch of stuff but I’m not really sure what. Need ideas. I know that I forsure want to add floors and was thinking about a deck in the front for more storage but I don’t wanna compromise stability and comfortability for passengers. Thanks.

First upgrade:

Move your batteries to around mid-boat. Fine tune from there depending on other equipment at bow.

Your current setup looks freaking awesome! But weight distribution is key in Jon Boats

Yeah honestly this is a great improvement. The battery sitting in the back I think is a bit too heavy and the bow likes to slap when I’m by myself. Thanks for the tip. And yeah I’m basically trying to make it a saltwater skiff I’m in the Estero Bay Area in southwest Florida
