[QUOTE="dearl, post: 431539, member: 1760"] When I purchased the boat originally it was light In the nose like now, and I had the same problem, I moved some things around and installed heavier decks and floors, and it ran well that way, but was heavy and drafted a lot more. Now that its light again, it almost feels like it wants to run there, but with the batteries In the rear, I'm almost certain this changed the dynamics of the tunnel and created a low pressure causing it to pull the stern down more. The spray is ever present with a touch of the trim, something I'm not used too. The concrete idea is a good one, but I have 2-30lb. anchors, a 40 lb. bait tank and a 200 lb. man on the front deck and this thing will still bounce your eye teeth out at WOT and I still get spray when I touch the trim. I'm not sure if re-working the tunnel will solve this but everything I know about this boat tells me its more than just the weight distribution. [/QUOTE]
