[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 453060, member: 13702"] Agreed w/ above -- between a 60hp 4 stroke, fuel & batteries you're very *** heavy. Shifting weight forward would be your best bet, any other solution is to add drag to the rear of the boat in one way or another. If redistributing weight isn't an option or fails you can add drag by lowering the motor mounting position so the gearbox sticks farther below the boat without purchasing tabs or beating a bend into your hull (worst option of all IMHO.) After the free fixes I'd turn to a foil before tabs. [/QUOTE]
