I've always thought that the DC would be a nuisance too, for the boat owner. I can see it getting in the way a lot  :nod:

Yes but the DC also helps with weight distribution even though it can get in the way. Makes the boat run a little better on plane.

Hmmm...  (hmm)

How much does that console weigh? Just curious, since I figured it can't weigh much more than 50 lbs. or so. Am i wrong?

Which is why with the Ranger having dual tanks, If I'm alone I only use/fill the port tank or run off starboard first. In TXs, since I'm a skinny guy at < 150#, most of my co-anglers are =>? 200# so that helps level it out.

I'm not sure what the console would weigh, but @ 50 # that is only about 8 gal of fuel equivalent, so dropping 25 gal on the starboard is close to a full persons weight
