Default Console placement

Looking for anyone with my setup for a measurement from transom back top to front of console on deck. I know there is a weight and balance formula out there but would like to try and find a set up that is performing well and use there measurement. Thx Keith

i have a smaller console 34" wide x 52" long on my 23' and the front of my console is 30" from the forward casting deck. I wanted it as far forward as possible without looking strange. 120 lbs of batteries mounted all the way forward in my console under the seat. i test drove the boat for the first time this week and with a suzuki DF350 on a hermco twin bracket, the boat is very well balanced. does not squat. i can get a picture tonight.

Default Console placement

Looking forward to pics. Are u the first person to do a 350? I remove my casting deck and have the console about 40 inch back from the bulkhead were step started about same place were u measure from which I believe at 40 inch is close to original location and it feels good and plenty of room between console and leaning postlwell and and between leaning post and transom crown. I did move tank forward and will have 2 both battery’s forward in consol. I have a twin Armstrong set up for 30 inch shaft so it sits about 3 inch from keel suppose to have great flotation. You have given something to think about now. I do like 2 fish 2 kits so was hoping to still have good deck space up front plus a coffin box.
Thx for your return was thinking no one liked me. Lol

One last thing my console is 48 deep without a seat again there will be an 80 lb coffin box up front without fish or ice. im Thinking with my console being 4 inch forward in the back moving operator forward a little and the coffin box if that works to balance out the 10 inch difference in placement. Got to get this right, any thoughts
