[QUOTE="dearl, post: 353096, member: 1760"] Another option, and probably cheaper, add a set of float pods to it. I have had 2 different sets and both made my boat perform better. A properly engineered set of pods can easily displace more than half the motor weight. My pods were designed for 1.5 cubic ft of air. 1 cubic ft of air will support over 63 lbs. My 90/65 2 banger weighs 318 lbs but really my pods are supporting over half that weight. My rig has a tunnel and still only displaces 5" at rest loaded. I do have over 300 lbs of gear/bait tank/batteries on or under the front deck, but she's nose up when you hit the gas, and planes out in no time. [/QUOTE]
