I am building my first fast e boat. It is a 31" cat scratch built from some plans I found online.

I know typically you would want to use 2 battery packs in the pontoons (at least that is what I have seen online!), but I have some battery packs already. I was planning on using a 786g 4S 8000MAh pack over the tunnel. I did some flotation tests (everything is inside, but not installed properly) to kind of gauge how heavy it would be, and it does not seem to be extremely deep in the water. What do you guys think?

If at all possible, I prefer to avoid additional expenses, especially with all this COVID 19 issues, which will greatly affect my line of business, and I am not sure I will have a job in a few months time...
