[QUOTE="zerofivenismo, post: 184402, member: 2631"] I agree with the previous two replies. Give the boat and yourself some seat time to figure out different combinations of weight distribution and tilt adjustments. Try adding weight to the bow with gas tank, anchor, tackle, and/or battery. If no luck after some seat time, then a cheap fix would be a hydrofoil fin. My rig greatly benefited from a fin, helping me get on plane quickly, plane at lower speeds, and improved top speed. Just remember most of guys here (me included) didn't get our boats perfectly set up the first time we took it out. Good luck and throw us a pic of your new boat. [/QUOTE]
