My 25 II had two batteries and an inboard gas tank on opposite sides, so it balanced out OK; by the time you get anchor, dock lines, the BBQ and all the other fun stuff in there, I do not think it will be a major issue;
The 25 is a great boat, in a puff, it will dig in and accelerate; keep her balanced and you'll walk all of the Catalinas and Hunters.... Richard 1987 33-II Richard N.

I purchased 1981 C&C 25 here in the western Chesapeake this fall. It's now in dry storage. The previous owner had two deep-cycle marine batteries on board, both stowed in the port cockpit locker. Considering the weight of these batteries, does it affect handling to have both batteries on the same side of the boat? Or is this boat so big itself, it doesn't matter? They are only used to power lights and an occasional device, such as a GPS, so I may not even need both on board. Also, the gas tank for the outboard was stowed in the same compartment as the batteries when the boat was docked. I was wondering if this is literally playing with fire, that is, couldn't a spark from a battery spell disaster? Or am I just paranoid as the new owner?
