Kris, you knew I would post on this..Seems you have figured out where I gave up and failed with the Vision 20 FE...getting that battery pack further back in the boat. Good good good good choice my man. Lets just say if you don't, she tends to dive to the ponds bottom and gets stuck forks first in the mud when you slow down to turn. Looks like you had to cut the top cowl to get the room needed to put that battery back and under the ESC. Good solid work man! Maybe I should have kept mine! lol. Mike
