Would you move heavy gear and tank to the stern of a boat in a sever storm?

In a severe storm, moving heavy gear and tanks to the stern of a boat is generally not advisable. Shifting weight to the stern can alter the boat's balance and stability, potentially increasing the risk of capsizing. It's safer to secure all gear in a low and centralized position to maintain the boat's stability. Prioritizing safety and ensuring the vessel remains balanced is crucial in such conditions.
