[QUOTE="kcnokc, post: 205985, member: 6100"] Don't have a problem with porpoising at all. I really noticed the benifit of having more weight in the front when I had my wife sit up front going through a shallow area. I have a problem anchoring in current or wind because when I bait fish I normally have to fish off the back of the boat and anchor facing the wind or current. With the bow up in the air like that it makes the boat sway more. I may add 50 lbs at a time to see if it helps, I know ultimately I should move the batteries up front but I'm thinking about getting a pontoon boat and dont want to make a bunch of mods and then sell the boat. Thanks for the input everyone, i appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
