J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Battery up-size

Alx, looks like a good way to double the AHs. Can the port battery fit where the two Grp 24s were at? The slimline 200 AH batteries are 119# each and it would be nice to have that wt positioned as fore & center as the originals. Do you think you would need to reinforce the fiberglass where the batteries do sit?
