On the other hand, it may depend on the weight distribution for the rest of 
the boat. With our heavy outboard (which is lighter than Michael's) and the 
anchor in the lazarette and the gastanks under the cockpit seats we seem to 
need weight in the bow. We routinely use the vberth for storage. We keep 
our spare anchor and chain up there and when we go cruising all of our 
spare gear is in the v-berth. We're planning on making a conscious effort 
to keep the water tank full. Guess we'll have to pay close attention to how 
she sails. I'lll 'fess up if we decide we need to move some of the weight back.
