[QUOTE="riverjet115/80, post: 390845, member: 18993"] Redrum, I don't think with a tiller there is too much weight on the back of this boat. Maybe with smaller boats like yours, maybe. With me and only my wife in the front, this boat drafts flat in 6 inches of water. Out of the hole, it might sink and extra 2 inches or so, which is common for any boat. After I reach full plane, which is about a boat length and a half, I trim the motor up and to gain an extra mph or 2. When on plane with motor trimmed, the back part of the shoe is actually slightly above the bottom of the boat. Which means the boat will actually hit before my motor ever does. To each his own with the set-up they prefer. But the set-up I'm running now I couldn't be happier with. [/QUOTE]
