		Very nice.  You shouldn't need any more floatation.  The Escape will float a lot of pounds.  Your battery looks small enough to squeeze it in behind your seat.  Getting it a little more forward and lower down should help.   How much weight is in the cooler? 
Or make your rack so that it is a bit "U" shaped and comes up on the sides a little. Then you could shift your crates with the battery and cooler a little more forward. That should give you better balance.
