[QUOTE="momule, post: 413795, member: 20155"] You have a lot of weight in the rear. Don't mess with the motor until you see what adding weight to the front does for you. With you and the motor in the stern I would move everything else forward in front of your wife. Set the motor on the middle pin for your tilt. You can simulate some of that by putting 5 gallon buckets of water in the front but try to keep the total weight close to what you'll have on a regular day of fishing. You may end up having to use a wedge with your motor mount but try to adjust the easy stuff first. The jets are very sensitive to weight placement and each hull is different. Good luck and let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
