[QUOTE="WTL, post: 26448, member: 351"] Thanks for the help talking this problem out with me. This is the direction I am going in right now. I went the other day with another fellow in the boat and the flexing issue or nonissue didn't show up, no leaks on the seams, no funny feeling and no porpoising cause he was in the front. It appears I am on my way to getting it more solid as a craft. The stern heavy issue still exists, and when I'm not watching the suns-spurs I'm outside working on the jackplate. I'm first trimming it up and taking out 2/3" of the setback by using less of a motorboard, we'll see if that helps some. Its a longshaft motor that was still a little too deep. After I go out again, perhaps tommorow afternoon, I will post how it planes and we will see what tweaks should be done. I will also post a full pictorial when I get done with [i]this [/i]boat.
