[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 329133, member: 7274"] I agree that moving the fuel tank and the battery towards the bow will help a lot. You may also want to look into trim tabs (aka "smart tabs") rather than pods. They'll help you hop up on plane much more quickly, cruise on plane at lower speeds, and won't cause any issues with cavitation. They're very popular down here in FL where folks run them on their flats skiffs in less than 8" of water. They won't help to float/raise the stern at rest, but they will help greatly while underway. You can get electric or hydraulic models that are adjustable on the fly, or you can used fixed versions. Lenco in the most popular the brand of choice down here, but there are several other brands as well. [/QUOTE]
