[QUOTE="popperpitcher, post: 282718, member: 9944"] I'm new to the forum and to motor boats for fishing. I bought a 12' Lund which is too small but what I could afford to get on the water. The boat is in nice shape and has a 6 hp Yamaha and sits on a jet ski trailer. So far my only gripe with the boat is that my 200# holds down the transom but it runs bow up too much no matter how I position the motor tilt. I moved the gas tank as far forward as I can by adding a long gas line which helped a bit. If I move forward to the center seat it makes a big difference but controlling the motor isn't realistic. Full throttle it runs great and scoots right along but at slower speeds it throws up a wake. Suggestions? Trim tabs? Hydrofoil? Jack [/QUOTE]
