I've seen batteries on these anywhere from the stern to the bow and all points in between. You have a good idea though I would caution putting everything forward. Though the hull isn't a power- planing hull, it's still a planing hull and you don't want to create more stress on the transom then necessary when you're trimming out your outboard.
Stick your arm out level and then put a 50lb dumbbell in your hand, you put stress on your shoulder. Move that weight back up your arm and it eases the stress on your shoulder though it doesn't completely remove it. (I'm sure you understand CG but this may help others understand.)
I like setting my boats up for solo trips meaning I'll counterbalance the weight and and try to obtain the best center of gravity so when I'm sitting at the helm, the boat is sitting close to level on the water.
For some reason it bothers me seeing a boat listing to one side, more so when it's under way.
My plan has been to use a 12gal fuel tank on each side of the cockpit at the cabin bulkhead and have the battery under the splashwell. I'm rethinking this plan and may go another route, but I have other bridges to cross first.
