[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 425211, member: 15266"] That's good input right there. The funny thing is that with the20 jet on there (a whopping 124lbs) me in the back (135lbs) a 6 gallon tank and a battery with my buddy (175lbs) and cooler/gear up front, the boat still ran pretty stern heavy. She planed out good but I felt like I needed more power to really get the tail end up. You know when you have an adequately sized motor and you have on plane, then you have ON PLANE? I never really got ON PLANE!! By that I mean the boat was moving good but I still felt like she was dragging some. We would move at 17 up and out of the water but I think moving the weigh up forward and putting more beef at the tail end will do some good. [/QUOTE]
