I recently remodeled a 14 ft. klamath aluminum. Cut out the center console. Added floor and installed a home made steering Console on the right side. My problem is: what would be the best way to add weight to the left side to even out or balance the weight difference? I don't want to take up the floor to add the weight. It looked mighty funny when I first put it in the water after the remodel.

Re: boat ballast

Battery on the left side would be a start. I wouldn't move the fuel tank or anything that would vary in weight like fuel quantity off of the centerline of the boat.
