would a fat seat in the back and about 500 in the bow be too much for my 88 nautique?

I don't think anyone on a board can tell you if a weight
configuration will "work" or is "too much" the only way
to find out is experiment. With that much weight be careful
in older boats of swamping the bow Shocked

I can tell you for a fact that if you put a fat seat in a direct drive inboard and throw a sack in the walk through, you are good to go. You might want to adjust a bit for driver weight, and maybe move the bow sack a bit. It is not that complicated.
