Rib weight distribution

Hi looking for some more advice for my humber rib project again please

I will be bolting down the fuel tank, consoles and batteries at the weekend. I currently have a standard rotation gearbox / prop and the engine transom holes are starboard biased. Should I think about keeping the weight from fuel tanks and batteries to the starboard side of the boat?

Thanks

No , fit them centrally. The engine offset is probably to counteract the prop torque.
