[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 428613, member: 9884"] You can try lowering the center of gravity but I doubt that will help much. Back in the day (way back) when boats were wooden and had sails, they would fill the bottom of the ship with rocks as a ballast for stability. The difference here is your boat only displaces a 6-7 inches, not 6-7 feet. Float pods would most likely not lower the bow. Rather, it would make the boat feel more like a 1652 than a 1648. [/QUOTE]
