This is all speculation, but I believe when Frank designed the hull, it was for an outboard and a tiller. So the addition on a much heavier inboard and wheel (the wheel, also moving you aft) will make the stern squat. This is obviously not ideal, but IMO makes for a much nicer boat. Also, you can add enough weight to the bow to nearly sink the thing, and the stern will still squat at hull speed as it falls into the bow wave. I feel the best option, if it bothers you, is to move all your "stuff" forward, including the batteries, but never ADD weight to any boat unless it is a cargo ship. Tommy,
