[QUOTE="97Aero, post: 352969, member: 13053"] Suppose thats a subjective thing I suppose. First lets talk about what I have upfront. 75 lb thrust Motoguide with a beefy swing mount, a 22 lb anchor with anchor winch, under the console I have two Group 29 TM batts as well as a Minnkota 3 bank charger. Figured all that would level out the boat a bit and it probably has to some extent but the stance of the boat still seems *** heavy. Absolutely love the boat no doubt about that, have heard other people also comment on the stance of the 1860 as well. What I can tell in my limited experience with boats is that it does feel more responsive on a lighter tank. Thats probably normal with any boat though. Dunno maybe I am just being stupid.... But I do have one question for you since you have a G3 as well. How much play do you have in your steering either unloaded on the trailer or in the water before your motor starts to respond? I have approx. From dead center I can move my steering wheel about 10 degrees before the motor starts to respond. My first jet so I am not sure how responsive they should be. Thanks [/QUOTE]
