OK...my turn to get some good advise from this excellent forum

I bought a 1993 Proline 210 WA w/cuddy last summer with Yammy 200 2cycl carbed motor...as I have mentioned elsewhere...we are very happy with the rig.  Family got great use out of it all summer and I fished it hard into Dec on the Chesapeake with no problems.  Now think about what I want for upcoming season and one is a dual battery setup.  Now most know this boat with single that causes it to list to starboard at rest already.  The motor has autolube and so tank and battery are all in the starboard corner compartment...bait well on port corner.  So, has anybody rigged dual batts and if so how, where, did you try centering them or using bait well for second one?  Any advise would be appreciated.

I dont know your models recesses well enough , does the bait tank go all the way down so there is no room on port side for another? what about bilge areas .
any cavities avail? even for a small booster battery?

Thanks for response guy...may be room where bait well is if I eliminmate that...kinda small anyway and can use portable bait tank?  Also, may be room along centerline above bilge pump...or maybe even inside cabin?  I plan to make that one of my top mods for 2012...along with cleaning up wiring etc.  We are very happy with this boat...just hoping I get a bit more time out of engine...but ran strong last summer and into Dec before I pulled it...just needs minor tuneup and clean plugs and filters in spring and we are good to go.  I'm already talking to Cusion Guy about some bolsters and minor cusion repairs.
