[QUOTE="LarryMc, post: 426995, member: 13895"] Does it float level from stern to bow? If so, your weight distribution is good. A jet boat that runs with the stern low and the bow high is often a sign that the boat is under-powered. I honestly doubt, given the construction of the boat that you have, that you will be able to improve the performance with the 4 stroke Mercury 40 Jet. If you do succeed in getting the bow to run lower, it will probably just plow through the water and will actually reduce your top speed. [/QUOTE]
