[QUOTE="Xnutty98, post: 513133, member: 35484"] Thank you for the answer. I know this one might be hard to answer without actually seeing anything but do you think it's safe to operate like the way I have it? I'm coming from a 16 foot fiberglass boat and this is VERY different. I expected a change because of the weight difference but this is pretty drastic. Maybe I just have to get used to it? Had it in the water and it wasn't nearly as bad when it comes to the engine. I probably had 5 inches on the transom which was similar to my fiberglass boat. It got on plane well with the wind at my back but was all over the place with the wind in my face. I just want to make sure it's safe to operate. [/QUOTE]
