    I put the 50 lbs or so of tools that I carry in the forward compartment under the V berth 
    Same here.  Tools, power cords, spare fluids under the V-berth.  Added 30 feet of chain.  Before, I needed my trim tabs 3/4 of the way down just to cruise.  Now I cruise with little or no tabs unless I have a lot of people aboard.

    I didn't think load placement would affect a 9-ton boat, but it definitely did for me.

    Randy, it happened 3 years ago.

    I may have to start using the forward berth storage with a few more items.  We basically leave it empty cause it's a pain to get to and I don't like stuff way in the front where it can get bounced around a bit more.  But, thinking about it, I do really weight the aft end a ton (probably literally).
