Is there anything you can do get get a flat bottom Tin to ride a little better in light chop about 1 ft or less? I have. 2014 tracker Topper 15 with a 2014 20 hp Merc tiller handle. It rides great in the creeks. I realize a flat bottom is not going to ride smooth like a v hull. I'm just wondering if anybody has found anything that will help a little. I friend told me that he added a CM jackplate with power tilt and trim to his 16 ft flat bottom with a 40 hp tiller and that it made a big improvement to boat when in choppy water. I' m wondering if a hydrofoil might help by holding the nose down more. I'm going to also be adding a deck to the front using wood so I'm hoping a little more weight up front might help. My boat planes out fine and with just me and fishing gear in a flat creek the gps shows my top speed at 25 mph. I would appreciate any feedback.
